Yes, for the Kindle app, it's the same directory on my Galaxy Note (Android 2.3.6)

A far as Mantano is concerned, you have more flexibility where you store the books. However, as far as I know it only reads epub and pdf. Once you know where calibre is sending your books, all you have to do is go to Mantano Settings - My Books - Sync folders and enter the phone's directory name you want (I use /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ebooks). Then after you have sent some new books from calibre, all you need to do is use the Import option on the Mantano main menu. To define which phone directory calibre sends your books to (when using Send-to-device in USB mode), go to calibre Prefs - Plugins - Device Interface - Android - Customize and set your chosen directory at the beginning of the contents of the 'Comma separated list of directories...' box (I use sdcard/external_sd/ebooks).

Personally, I have found that I prefer to use calibre to Save-to-disk to my DropBox ebooks folder, then from the phone use the Android DropBox and DropSync apps to transfer the books wirelessly to my phone's ebook directories.
