It's not like anyone's forced to use Calibre to manage their libraries anyway. A lot of the functions such as downloading news, metadata and conversion, the command line versions work just as well. You really only need the GUI and library management for "Send to Device" and "Content Server".
Save to Disk exists for all those devices that Calibre can't deal with for whatever reason, with Send to Device , but appear as a disk drive to the OS.
