Very simple some asy reasons: because the database breaks, I change computer, I move disks, I access from remote/web and no db is usefull, etc...

So it would be perfect to be a database AND a tool to manage files and structures.

In fact Calibre does not only sotre the metadata but even moves files, creates new files etc...
so it would be lovely to have the two parts of it's core aligned
