I'm sorry but I don't know what MR refers to and I thought I was on the forum part of Calibre. Those of you steeped in this don't realize just how opaque it can be.

Here is a link to the how to use Calibre section of its home site -
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/
It will give you an idea of what you can do (it is a very powerful program that will do as little or as much as you require). A library in Calibre is essentially a folder structure on your hard drive. When you load books into Calibre, it adds them to the library (by author name). If you use Calibre to organise and tag your ebooks and load your reader, you usually dont need to worry about the underlying folder structure.
It might look daunting at first but it is really a very straightforward piece of software with great functionality.
On the MobileRead (MR) forums, there is a section devoted to Calibre - the developer hangs out there and there is alot of usual information about getting the best from the software.
