What I don't like is the fact that every time you add a book it creates a folder for that book. I wish it would just view the books as I have them on my PC. I catalogue my books by genre and then, if there is more than one book by the same author, a sub-folder with that author's name.

So rather than have my HD cluttered up with folders I have tended to use a file manager to drag and drop them into my reader.
You'll need to learn to relax about where the files are stored, and concentrate on getting the metadata right in calibre.

I also recommend sending to your device from calibre. I find it a lot easier than manually dragging & dropping files.
