Calibre does everything I want from a library manager and I wouldn't have much use for any collections/shelves feature on my reading device. It's just not really important for me.

Same. I see the Kindle as kind of a technical cul-de-sac, a dead end device that it's hard to get stuff back out of (except for notes and books themselves, which sync nicely IF using Amazon's cloud). So I'm not going to go to great effort on this, or any other reading device, to create a bunch of structure and metadata to organize my collection, only to lose it or have difficulty transferring it later. Seems like Calibre is the place to do that. And if you can find an app (like CC for Android) that can leverage Calibre data on your reading device, even better.
