The tags just don't do it for me. You shouldn't have to drill down into a view by tags, edit all your existing ebooks and all the other things you guys are talking about to simply separate books.
I am an amateur photographer and I use metadata tags quite a bit for describing images (what the tags are really intended to do), but all the photo editing software I've used also allows you to organize your images separate from the tags that describe what's actually in the image, or in this case, ebook. The tags easily allow you to find things based on the content, which never changes. You don't have to edit the metadata of images to keep track of where you are in your workflow with any photo management and editing software I've ever used.
Using tags really seems like more of a workaround to a limitation of the software here. If the intention was to use tags to manage your workflow, why wouldn't there be an option to automatically add specific tags to books when they're imported? Workflow really doesn't seem to have been a big consideration here, and that's a shame.
