I am never looking for a specific ebook, I would just import all of them via calibre's auto-add folder setting, which cleans up after itself. The book is useless for me in the Amazon ebook folder, so why should I care that the ADE ebook folder uses titlenames?

Once in calibre, they are very easy to find.
But, I can download the .acsm file and have ADE open it and download the eBook in ONE step. That's ONE step, not an extra step. I can do that via my web browser. In order to get an eBook from Amazon, I have to specify which computer it's going to and then I have to fire up Kindle for PC, sync, download and then I have it. That's three more steps I have to do then I do with ADE.
