If you've ever tried to side-load books into Kindle on iPhone, for example, you'd see that while the app stores books in the filesystem it doesn't store them in any named manner that would make it easy for people to poke around.
There's no way to stop people from looking in places they shouldn't, but you can discourage it by making it difficult to figure out what everything is. |
I like to poke into these folders to change covers or replace or edit the original html file with a cleaner file so that it has fewer error in converting and the TOC is accurate. So having names that make it harder I won't like.
It is what it is calibre has over a million users changing how it works now could annoy thousands of regular users so should not be changed to accommodate new user complaints.
