Hmmm, I can't say Calibre's looks have ever been a factor in the four or five years I've used it. Like you I don't care about its looks, but looking at it now I don't really think it looks all
that bad either. Oh well, their loss I guess and good luck finding something better.

And it's a must have for me. So i just don't use calibre, but some DIY program. Won't do as much as calibre, but will do what me myself and I want / need.

I'm still not sure I quite understand, since I can decide myself where the Calibre library is located. Or do you mean you want to have files located in numerous locations and have them all appear as a unified library?
File names I understand, although since I have full control of how the files are named once they're exported I have trouble seeing how it can matter particularly much. But then that's just from my own perspective.

Thanks, I can see how that might be a feature one would want. I share that desire very strongly in regards to readers, where I absolutely need a prospective new reader to support folders. In the case of Calibre I've never actually thought about it at all, but that's probably because I began using it at the same time that I began ereading. Hence I never had a large, established collection that I needed to import.
In any case Calibre is the one and only decent ebook management programs I'm aware of, so a little competition and diversification can only be good and I agree it should be welcomed.
