After a couple of hours' experimenting my conclusion so far is that Karen's Directory Printer comes closest to doing the job, for those without the skills to roll up their programming sleeves and get down and dirty with DOS commands.
By excluding all but the file info and search subfolders options in it, and by excluding some of the other irrelevant details, you can indeed end up very very quickly with a complete just-heat-and-eat booklist of only titles and authors. The only downside seems to be that the result has to be in that order, i.e. title - author, rather than the more desirable author - title, but that seems a small price to pay given that the list is still actually in alphabetical author order, by folder -- or it is in my case, given that this is how my master book directory and subdirectories are structured. (Genres/author/title).
A quick find and replace can then remove the unwanted .mobi extension (ditto .pdf).
I downloaded the suggested JR Directory Printer but it crashed consistently on my Win7 installation.
Plugging the Kindle in did certainly enabled Calibre to very quickly list its contents (though this would not work if you wanted to see the contents, say, of a master book folder on the PC). But I was unable to go any further to actually print or save a list from this display. Is there a technique I'm missing?
I could not get the suggested Command Prompt string to run but will keep trying.
