All in all, it seems better to me to have them learn from the beginning to treat the library as a black box and access their books the way Calibre was designed for books to be accessed - either through Save to Disk or through Send to Device.
Well, I'm not delighted that I have to duplicate several hundred books but I can live with it. Citac has already contributed to a 'don't like calibre structure' thread so we are preaching to the converted.

Besides, I don't know of any piece of software that does not have at least one really annoying feature.
