In my opinion, then, it's not "much superior"
Also, IMHO-
I've worked with software that "lets" me store files however I want. I used to think that was great. I've only been using Calibre a couple months (and probably only 10% of it's capabilities) and I couldn't be happier.
I dropped almost 1000 books into it and I've been working ever since trying to get the metadata correct. I'll admit I don't trust some of the automatic parts yet so I want to update my books one at a time. I've found so many duplicates and other issues and it's all so easy to correct and fix using the interface. Frankly I don't care about the file system structure- it's easy to navigate manually if I ever need to, that's all I need to know.
I haven't gotten the hang of exporting to my phone to read yet (my tablet got dropped and is broken and won't be replaced for a while). I do know from hanging around the forums it's possible once I decide to take the time to figure it out. From what I understand all I'll have to do is get the metadata correct then export the books directly to the device. It sounds to me you want to have a separate folder on your computer to manually copy- why do it the hard way? Just let the software handle it.
I have a question of my own- does anybody know of a program similar to XBMC I can use for my movies that handles metadata in a way more similar to Calibre (allowing tags and the like)? And SPECIFICALLY not "allowing" me to have to control the EXACT folder structure and filenames?
