I'd really prefer to handle my library without Calibre. I just plain don't like the program, and I found it annoying to use when I did try it. Maybe I just didn't give it enough of a chance back then, since I didn't see any point in using it.

My entire file managing process atm is: download book, check the name is correct, move it to the correct folder, delete books I don't want to keep after reading. That's it, so all the extra stuff in Calibre was totally useless to me. Using it just felt like bloating a quick and simple process for no reason and honestly, it still feels like that. I'd much rather get a device that just let's me do tags directly as I read or go without than add extra annoyances to such a simple and common process.

I hope I'm not offending any Calibre fans here. I'm sure it can be a great help with lots of useful features, but I just don't need any of that stuff aside from this one specific thing.

That said, can anyone comment on Pocketbook Inkpad 3's ability to do tags? Checking the manual I see it can do collections, but there's no details on how that works. Quick Google search didn't bring up anything, but I'll keep looking. The Inkpad doesn't seem as good as Kobo Forma, but if it's great with tags maybe I'll consider it.
