Well, I certainly thought so, until I started to use Calibre and discovered all those wonderful features that come with a good database that can be modified and queried using advanced queries and regular expressions.
Any time you need a bunch of books in a set of directories built certain way, for putting on a reader, for example, you just program Calibre to build an elaborate system of directory and file-names based on any metadata you have put into database.
And you can populate the metadata in database in various ways - by reading existing filenames and directory structures of imported files, existing metadata, querying Internet in a semi-automatic manner ...
