Seriously.
When you install Calibre, you install GUI (that you dislike), but you also install lots of commandline programs that can be used to convert books, copy books to your reader, read the memory of your reader (to find out what books are on) and also, I believe, a utility that can create collections. Collections reside in a single xml file in reader memory.
Some people use Calibre exclusively by using individual utilities from commandline. Calibre utilities could also be used to kick-start a development of a simple gui just for creating collections.

Sorry, but I am growing somewhat tired of people endlessly suggesting calibre... I know what it does, I have it installed, I use the CLI tools (which are great), I really REALLY do NOT like the GUI...
What I'd really want is something like iTunes for my eBooks.
So once again:
* I am well aware that a lot of people like calibre, that's fine.
* I am aware calibre comes with a plethora of command line tools. I use and like those.
* I know calibre is an open source project. My coding skills (not to mention my design skills) however are really not up to snuff to start recoding an entire GUI.
* It seems both the dev and most users like calibre's GUI just fine, so I am not going to ask the devs to redo the GUI just for me.
calibre is a nice piece of software, it just really does NOT suit me on the GUI front.
This is why I am looking for an ALTERNATIVE (serving or used in place of another) to calibre.
Thank you
