On the technical side, I've had zero problems importing mobi-formatted books from my collection. I'm still scratching my head regarding .oebzip books.
What's the problem with the .oeb.zip books?

As for folder organization, there are an infinite number of ways to do this. Back when I was first designing the GUI I used to keep my books in folders too, but I found a rigid, hierarchical tagging system (which is what folders are) to be to limited for my needs, which is why I wrote the GUI to browse my book collection. That said, adding support for different folder organizations is not too difficult, but it's not something I personally have any motivation for.
