It seems to be needlessly hanging on to the physical world in the digital one.

Ok, it is true that having a database allowing to search through many semantics values (authors, title, editor, year, language...) is smart and useful. But the search in Kobo is useless on this matter with only title, author to sort books, and no way to go directly to one or the other value.
And as you put it, some of us are used to organizing books in folders.
Of course, the tagging (shelving) system is quite interesting (especially when you find out that your book belongs to three or four categories, and that you can only put it in one folder). But even the category browsing is painful on my Kobo.
I guess I misuse Calibre. Maybe Paola can help us out on this (but I guess this question hasn't got its place here).
