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.

Please explain to me what is "preferable" about a hardware that requires a file to be named something that tells me nothing on looking at the name?
I looked at the kindle and at the nook and found the cryptic filenames to be too hard to deal with. When I see friends with kindles try to find the next book in a series it is painful to watch.
Too much of a control freak here to want to deal with that. Calibre is so much easier to deal with and using save to disk I set up my library with a structure and naming format that suits my current needs. If my needs change, I then save them under another set of names.
