I'm a brand new Calibre user...never used previous versions except some of the command line utilites, but installed the updated Calibre recently to give it a try. There are definitely some nice things about it. In particular, it did a great job of converting a couple of books that otherwise would have required a lot of html editing on my part. While I don't like the folder structure implemented, I can live with it and understand why. However, the save to disk option is a failing for me. And particularly the lack of options for specifying my own file name structure when wanting to save out just one type of file (ie. my converted files). If I'm wanting to back up all files or essentially export them to another location as backup for example, I'd want to be able to have them named something like " 'author last name' 'author first name' - title " and I can find no way so far for that to happen. Maybe I need to play with the Save to Disk options more ?

I'll continue to play with Calibre, but I think the bulk of my use of it will be the ebook-convert.exe command line tool. This will implement nicely into my batch files so I can automate my conversions a lot while still using my own method of file naming. I don't know if I'll use Calibre and import my files into it after that or not.
