The file names in the calibre library are named according to calibre and is not something you can change. There is no relation between the file name as it exists in the calibre library and how it is named when it is sent to your device. There shouldn't be any reason anyone would feel compelled to go into the calibre library via a file manager like explorer. Worldwalker explains the setup here.

The file names inside calibre are not something you need to concern yourself with. Calibre gives you multiple avenues to export your book using the Send to device, Save to Disk or Connect to folder features with whatever file name you want using the save templates.

Your original source files do not change. Calibre copies the files to its library/database using a naming scheme to keep track as it needs to.
