Calibre stores the book files in a library folder, which generally is hands off. If you want one or more books to be in a different folder organized in a different way, use Save Books to Disk to save (copy) all of the selected books in the calibre library-view booklist out to wherever you want them. Same disk, other disk, anywhere except inside the hands-off calibre library folder.

The term "save to disk" is a bit misleading. Calibre automatically updates all the changes you make to metadata very soon after you make the changes, automatically updating database.db (as well as the OPF). [Edit] Calibre automatically "saves" formats to the relevant book folder in the calibre library folder, whenever user adds or removes a format through calibre interface.[/Edit]
