Folders are portable, simple and get the job done very well. Of course, when you want to transfer something to the Reader via any app, you just load it from it's folder.
Calibre stores the ebook files in the file system exactly as you have described. The only thing it adds is a library.db file which keeps track of metadata, i.e., author name, summary, ISBN, tags, etc.
