I am asking about organizing when using Calibre and Scrivener because the Finder [and its analogues in Linux and Windows] has one way of organizing things [in directories, which appear as folders and windows on the desktop], which tools like Blik add to, and Calibre has a second way of organizing things, and Scrivener has a third, and unless someone can suggest another accessible word processor, I'm trying to figure out how to get the second and third to work with each other. Unless I'm misreading you, you seem to be suggesting adding a fourth way of organizing things.

I use Calibre because I need something to convert azw and mobi files, and correct metadata, to read them on the Iriver Story Hd, and I need something to convert epub files, and correct metadata, and organize collections, to read them on the Kindle Dx.

I also use Calibre to keep track of files, because I already use Calibre, so I may as well use it to do this too.

I need an accessible word processor, such as Scrivener, to write up my own work. I had been using Bean and Textedit, but they can't sort tables and can't repair certain formatting errors. I had been using LibreOffice before that, but can't disable blinking cursors, objects, and cells, in it. I can't see around flashing and blinking, and get disoriented, and sometimes get migraines.
