1. As you say, organizing my books as I like.
2. Because I already had them organized that way.

Before I had an e-reader, I would read my ebooks on my netbook, and I had them all set up in a wiki, the way I liked. That enabled me to add comments and different kinds of tags, and do searches the way I wanted. I didn't want to lose all that information. I do lose the search with the Pocketbook, but it's still better than having to, say, import a thousand books into Calibre, one at a time, and lose all the extra information I had.

3. Installing the HTML documents is trivial; everything is in one directory (the HTML indexes and the ebooks both) and you just copy it all onto a microSD card.
