    Okay? My other comment might help you then, you can change in the preferences whether to put your library in nested folders or not.

    If all else fails, make a post on the MobileRead forums; there are lots of nice and knowledgeable book people there with tons of Calibre experience.

    I’m not trying to get you to do something you don’t want to, so your wall of text doesn’t really make sense to be directed at me. I didn’t make Calibre.

    1. Open the Preferences in Calibre

    2. Click on “Saving books to Disk” (found under Import/Export)

    3. Make sure “Save cover separately,” “Update metadata in saved copies,” and “Save metadata in separate OPF file” are all unchecked.

    4. Adjust the “Save template” to the filename format that you prefer. You can use variables as folder names so, for example, {author_sort}/{title} would put everything by Stephen King in a folder titled “King, Stephen” and each book would be inside of a self-titled folder.

    5. Select all of the books you want, then click the floppy disk icon and save them to a temporary directory.

    6. Delete the old library, then import a new library (with the new filenames) from the temporary directory.

    7. Delete the temporary directory.

    Or you can just use symlinks. :P
