I've been looking at calibre too, but I don't like having too many programs on my pc. File conversion was never a biggy. I think pdfs (besides text only books) work pretty good on the 600 without conversion.
Initially I just dragged and dropped files on SD-Card to get files on my reader. Since finding out that files opened on the reader respond much faster when stored on the readers internal memory, I just drag and drop files on the reader. I use the library software only to create collections. I connect the reader, the library opens, I just drag the files to the according collections I created. So in other words, I still drag and drop and the library is somewhat of a explorer-extension. If explorer would have the function to tag files for the reader, I would go with that rather than installing Sonys proprietary software. I know that organizing files with database programs may be great and good, but I still prefer organizing my files by folders and filenames (on mp3s metadata usually works ok, but still there are mix-ups with album art and tags that show up, even if I use original manufacturers software for loading the player).
But that's just me. Maybe I'm just too old-fashioned for my age.
