Chose ereader install location?

[Scaledish]

I just claimed my tor.com free book, downloaded, and imported to caliber. was quite seamless. I plugged in my kobo and sent it over. out of curiosity, I looked where it was sent, and it was sent to the root folder under his name. Instead, I want it to be sent to my books folder on the device, because i like organization! how would I do this

Insert the Literal path IN front of the existing Template

\My Books\{authors} - {title}

slash indicates a folder, The LEADING slash say off the root
the rest is a regular template that you can roll your way

In the Send To Device Template
Connect the device, THEN right click the Device Icon: Configure
The reason to do it here is Calibre remembers any device connection's configuration.
Preferences: is where things like this get done BEFORE first use. These become DEFAULTS for later FIRST USE.

And get the slashes the right way round. The examples in green slant the opposite way to what you wrote.

Depends what platform Scaledish is using.

Theducks' examples in green use backslashes ("\") and are only correct on Windows among major platforms.

The POSIX standard—and all other major platforms, including OS X (Mac), iOS, Android, Linux, etc—all use forward slashes ("/") as the path separator, as Scaledish used.

It doesn't matter. Calibre will convert to the appropriate slash for the OS.
