A few years back, one person was complaining that they had a very carefully crafted directory structure and they could not send it to their Kobo and that when they tried calibre, it turned their directory structure into a pile of crap. When I asked why they were so concerned about directory structure on a Kobo or in calibre, the response was how else could they locate a book to read? Evidently using calibre or their Kobo's ability to search on various criteria was not acceptable in their opinion.
After a few more rounds back and forth in PMs about calibre not touching the original directory structure unless you use auto-add which is specific to one directory, I gave up on debating what amounted to a religious dispute about search vs. directory structure.

I don't actually like directory structure based eBook storage. It's too fixed in it's ways. I prefer the calibre way and I can find something much easier. Kobo makes it fairly easy to find something as well.
