This is why I don't use Calibre.

It's supposed to be a "black-box" arrangement--you set a folder marked CALIBRE DO NOT TOUCH, and don't look inside. Makes me twitchy, but I could handle that. But it doesn't do that--it makes ugly little author folders ALL OVER MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER AAARGH. (Can't stand iTunes either.)

I gather there's a way to change this, a way to make the imports all go into one folder (which I'd then remember to just never look inside), but I haven't teased out the settings for it. Plus the constant upgrades drive me bonkers; I regularly swap between 3 different computers and can't be bothered to keep up.

I want to learn how to make ePubs manually and design (or pester nice code-speaking friends to design) a simple program to batch-convert txt or rtf files.

There's Sigil, but I don't know if it does batch conversions.
