This is on Windows:

I download documents into folders based on source, so in my Downloads\Documents folder, I have sub-folders for Stratfor, RandCorp, McKinsey's etc.

I have a shortcut to calibre.exe in my Send to folder, this allows me to add the downloaded 'books' to calibre via the Send To context menu item in Windows File explorer. So for each 'source' sub-folder, I select the files I want add, and Send them To calibre.

Once they're in calibre and I've knocked the metadata into shape I delete the files from Downloads\Documents.
