How? Mendeley has the more flexible folder/file structure. It can watch multiple folders as well as manage one general folder and offers flexibility in organizing the subfolders within it.
Calibre copies files from their existing folder structure and creates its own: author/title. Mendeley can organize its folder structure by author/title as well. This isn't an issue; although more flexibility in Calibre would be nice, it's not as important to me.
But how can the Mendeley developers take Calibre's author/title folder structure and pick out only the (academic) nonfiction files from it to include in its library? This is why the ability to watch AND manage/organize multiple folders is important. I'm going to ask the Mendeley developers to add the ability to manage more than one folder to Mendeley Desktop as well. But given the natures of Calibre and Mendeley, the former needs this functionality more because it is a more general-purpose program.
Keeping duplicate files might be my best option right now, but it is not optimum.

Unless I'm mistaken, Calibre can only watch/manage one folder at a time.
