There is a way.
1. You could just copy all your books to the root of the card or into the memory, eliminating folders "manually". If you use Calibre, it can be configured not to use directories. Alternatively you can use "save to disk" feature in Calibre.
2. You can use "Favorites" feature in PocketBook 360. Just add one book into favorites, then connect the reader to PC, locate the favorites configuration folder inside /system/ directory on your reader. It would be easy to write a script to add all your book into favorites. You can also place all your books into Favorites manually in reader, one folder at time.

Well ... Your Mileage Might Vary ;-)
For the vast majority of people the directory structure support is crucial feature that they sorely miss in Kindle, Sony and other big-name brands.
As I said, you can easily emulate that ... aehm ... "feature" by manually placing all your book at the card without any structure.
