When I first started to use Calibre, I must admit that my biggest grip was the folder structure. Even now, I am not entirely keen on it.
Personally I would like to have all of the books for a specific Author in a single folder rather than each book having a folder unto itself.
I can however understand why the structure is the way it is - this way it allows for duplicates (different versions of the same book for example) in a much more controlled way (using the numbering system to uniquely name a folder). Also so that each book can have a cover.jpg (although naming the cover file the same as the book file would also work in a single folder structure).
While I have my personal preference, the current structure isn't so bad as for me to care too much about it! I love what the application can do along with the development and support too much to let a tiny detail get in the way. I can live with it. My backup program (a very simple batch file) can live with it.
If something as trivial as the folder structure can stop somebody using Calibre, then IMHO they are sorely missing out!
Kovid, thank you for all of your hard work - it is appreciated more than you could possibly ever know!
