The call to place all books in one central place was more of a quality control / customer service call. This minimizes the constant calls, questions, posts about what happened to my books when folks move indexed files. You might want to ask Apple how much indexing music instead of copying it to a central library cost them in customer service in the early years.

By default, adding items to your iTunes library places a pointer to each file in the iTunes folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes folder instead of referencing them, see Copy files to your iTunes folder automatically.

"think about that for a minute or maybe you need two."
At some point in the future indexing may be an option in calibre but currently there isn't any great customer demand for this feature.
