One of the purposes in naming a epub file with the actual name of the book (e.g Winnie the Pooh instead of QRTY.epub) is that users want to know the name of the book.
That is why we name books.
As the name of the book is somewhere in the epub file, why is it that apple cannot use that as its folder name to make it easy and accessible.
After using a number of other readers I now read all my books on the iPad.
It is a great device but the OS is extremely unfriendly, unnecessarily obscure and difficult. In a word, it stinks.

It is not as easy as you might suggest. The expanded version should not even exist and it only a temporary reference caused by the fact that the application using it can't deal with the raw epub file. If you rename the folders the internal links inside the files will no longer work and you will break the book. The book author could have used meaningful names inside the folder but did not. They never intended for this internal information to be exposed to the file system.
