Hmmm... how about explaining why it's preferable for Calibre to take an eBook source directory that may already have the books sorted exactly the way the user wants them sorted, then copy and resort them some other way?

Why can't Calibre's database simply point to where the file already exists? You are basically doubling eBook libraries' size for any person that isn't willing to fully entrust it to Calibre (by deleting the original, upon blind faith that nothing went wrong during Calibre's copying over).
