My point is that Kovid, the developer of Calibre, developed Calibre on his dime, put it out there and said, "here it is. If you like it, great. If you want to throw a small donation my way, great".
As I said, I don't think that what I would consider key features are currently supported on the kindle fire (the ability to select a book from your book organizer and automatically bring it up in your favorite ebook app).
I've got a book organizer on the iPad that I rarely use. It's a pretty neat program, but there isn't really any payoff for using it. It can't sync with Calibre on my mac, thus I have to manually enter books in it. Plus, it can't launch a book for me to read. With those limitations, it's just not very useful.
