And still, on a day-to-day basis I'd have to have two copies of my entire library on my Windows box: one for Calibre and another for my Android devices to sync with. With no easy way of automatically keeping them in sync.
But it's okay. Calibre does what the people who wrote it intend for it to do, which just happens to be a poor match for most of my needs. There's lots of software out there like that. I'll happily use it for where it does meet my needs.

I'm kind of confused with your needs. You seem to want something that runs on Windows (that you can view ebooks?) and something that can connect with your nook (?), but you don't want that unreadable conglomeration of letters and numbers that comes down from B&N to be changed, but you want something that you can manage your ebooks on. Does that sound about right?
Unless you are removing DRM, there is nothing beyond the unsupported Nook reader for windows and if you're removing DRM than there is no reason to not use calibre as it can very successfully transfer your ebooks to the nook. I've owned a couple of nooks over the years and have never had a problem transfer ebooks from calibre to nook. In fact I just tried it with nook touch and it did beautifully.
