Firstly calibre is an excellent program and I cannot thank Kovid and the other contributors enough for their hard work. However I do think allowing users to use their preferred folder structure has its benefits. The idea you can continue using your own folder structure alongside calibre doesn't work for me because I like to frequently edit my ebooks and if I used the two systems simultaneously it would involve copying and renaming books each time I made an edit and that is too much work.
Secondly, I would like to synchronise my ebook library with my SD card to read on my DR1000. However the calibre folder structure is unsuitable for the DR as it involves way too many clicks to navigate. (My solution was to write a second program that synchronises my calibre DB with my DR1000.)
I'm not suggesting Kovid changes calibre - I have no doubt he knows full well the most beneficial system for his program. But it disappoints me that people think the OP was wrong to share his experience with calibre considering he did so in a respectful manner.
