Another non-Calibre user here, and I agree with rem736's comments. I'm sure Calibre's a fine tool, for those who are content for it to assimilate their book files and make them part of the collective. It doesn't appeal to me. As rem736 says, it's a matter of personal taste (and file management preferences).

My concern at this point would be if Kobo were to start assuming people will all use Calibre as a de facto tool for eReader access, and develop a reliance on it into the Kobo firmware.

If you don't want to have to learn Calibre, icspots, then you might like to consider Sigil (http://code.google.com/p/sigil/), a free epub editing tool. For your need here, there's nothing to learn, and it doesn't alter your system to enable it on your PC, since it's self-contained. Open your epub in Sigil, press F8 to open the metadata editing dialog, change the book title to suit and simply save the file. That's what I do with my book series.
