As has been mentioned above -- if you don't want to use calibre for what it is meant for, then what, precisely, do you use it for?

calibre is a librarian for your books. It tracks them, stores metadata in its catalogs, and makes all of that available for you, and in order to do a good job at that, it needs you to use it. If you really want to deal with raw files, go ahead -- but you can do that just as well without calibre having ever been involved at any time.

You just want to convert books? calibre has a rich and featureful command line interface.
Or you can export books according to whatever metadata-based filename paths you prefer, sing save-to-disk.

My favorite method involves just letting calibre abstract away all that busywork.
