Uh I don't think he wants to muck around with the directory.
He has a bunch of books saved in a particular directory structure that he delineated in his post.
Again, deleteriousone you need to rename your files and import them in the format that calibre will read them.
The big problem I see is your file names have no information about author since that is contained in the directory folder names. The problem with this structure is if you ever moved this file anywhere other than the folder it is in, than you would not know who wrote it.
An example of a filename from FeedBooks is : Edgar Allan Poe - The Tell-Tale Heart.epub
Now, if I move it anywhere on any media it contains the Author and Title so I can tell what it is.
Blue Adept.lit might tell some people familiar with Piers Anthony what it is but if you don't know who wrote it you are lost.
Regardless, once you get it loaded into Calibre it will keep track of all this.
The key is getting it to load easily and with the least amount of effort.
So, I would rename the files (a copy of course) to "Author - Title.ext" and add the series later since most books are usually not part of a series anyway and this would be the least amount of work to recreate. Then import them into Calibre since that is the format Calibre is looking for. Then adjust your covers and series's from there.
