Plus I make multiple back-ups faithfully.

I also tend to take a closer look at the freebies I grab from this folder before I actually add them to Calibre to ensure it is something I truly want to read. I've tried to be more meticulous about what freebies/on-sale books I get this year, but sometimes it's just easier to grab them and look later.
You and Blossom are both right... I need to at least download them to my hard drive until I get around to getting them into Calibre.... I was so focused for several months on getting my initial organization that I didn't actually read much. Really - from at least 3 books a week to maybe one or two every couple of weeks... now I'm reading again and letting the organization slide. Oh, where is the balance???
