But, I don't really agree with your statement that writing it down in Excel would achieve the same thing. Once I have my lounge ready, I'll be adding all my paper books to Calibre as well. I already have my audible books in there too. It can still be a handy tool to keep track of your books. Why else is there an option for entering empty books?

I agree that there's no point in not letting calibre handle books. I think it's the Right Way to Do Things (tm) and hacking around it is silly. But the "solution" provides only a catalog interface without any of the actual functionality of calibre like syncing or conversion, so just ... why? People who have historically asked for calibre to stop doing this have done so because they have their own file system-based cataloging structure that they don't want calibre to mess up. So what's the point in using calibre to catalog a set of data that you* already technically have cataloged?
* That is the collective "you", not you in particular
