The catalog lists all authors, series, titles, blurbs all nicely hyperlinked so you can browse your books and when you decide what you want to read you find the file quickly in your hierarchical directories.
You could use "create catalog" also to create a catalog of books you wish to load up on the Kindle and use that to decide what book you wish to read next. When you know what you want, it should be much easier to navigate to the book, even with the atrocious UI Kindles have.

Yes, I would rather be reading than organizing. I like knowing I
could organize and catalog if I felt like it (having imported nearly all of my ebooks into calibre), and target any device of my choosing, but in the end I'm usually content to play the Kindle as it lays. Its UI does not bother me at all.
For example, I jailbroke an Oasis and tried KOReader and it is all too much tweaking, customizations and kitchen sink-ness. For me, it is too busy, and got in the way. I undid the jailbreak. I still have KOReader on my Pocketbook, just for reference I suppose, but I prefer the Era UI.
