I don't use Calibre. I plan to start, sometime soon, but not looking forward to it; I have fanfic on three different drives and many MANY ebooks, and am not sure whether or not I'd want them all in there. Calibre was not actually designed as an ebook database program.

I put a fandom abbreviation in the metadata with the title, so that when they're on my Reader and I sort by title, they sort by fandom & title. Most of my ebooks are either RTF (because I want to start reading NOW, and that takes the least formatting from a webpage) or custom-made PDFs to fit the 6" screen.

I'm also planning on getting PRS+ soon, and I gather that'll let me sort them by folders on the reader. I think I'd still put the fandom prefix in the title; I don't want to have to create a folder for each fandom on my Reader, especially when I pick up or drop fics.
