Being able to look not just by author, but by title, series and any tags I've chosen to set (all of my tags are genres) and have an easy read y/n column plus an approximate word count all together makes my library work well for me using Calibre. Having conversion and editing tools right there in the same software package is another bonus.
You're at a good place to start a Calibre library and lay down some ground rules for yourself on how you want to do things before your library grows larger and it takes you days instead of a few hours to get tags and series info in place (if you want them that is).

This! I agree 100%. Start using Calibre now, it makes it much easier in the long run.
I recently found an old USB drive that I had backed up all my ebooks at one time. The alphabet method is
exactly how it was organized! I wonder if it is a natural progression for ebook buyers? One Dump Folder --> Alphabet Folders --> Calibre.
