Go to Preferences - Plugins - Device Interface plugins. Select SmartDevice App Interface and click Customize plugin and uncheck the use sub-directories box, also change your Save template so it no longer has the the
{author_sort}/ or
{author}/ from the template. The
/ is telling the plugin to create a directory of whatever is before the
/.
Kovid suggested the same to you three days ago as quoted in your post below.

This doesn't help on my new 2nd Gen Fire ($159) as they still don't appear with the other books (or any other place I look). They only show up when they are in no sub-directory but are directly in the Books folder. |
Also as you acknowledged in the below quoted post the default template will be changed in the next release of calibre.

So if you want to have books in sub-folders you will need to configure the device by right clicking on the device icon in the calibre toolbar when the device is connected.

The only way my new Fire sees the book is if it individually placed in the Books folder.  |
It can all be confusing, the next version of calibre should default to no sub-directories.
Good Reading.
