Never used something like that. Physical books are mostly just correct. They have a cover, the title on it, publisher and date of release in it, and so on. The only thing I have to do is shelve it in the correct place. Maybe, write the genre down somewhere.
With regard to e-books, you can't take all of that for granted. If your metadata isn't correct, Calibre is practically useless (same as with Foobar, or other managers with regard to music).

I have noticed that e-books have gotten much better lately. I also open the epub and check the formatting and the number of books needing attention seems to have shrunk drastically. (Not an argument, just an observation.)

True, I noticed the same.
