I did see that, but Cool Reader's developer seems a bit overwhelmed or preoccupied right now. I decided to start from this end because I know from experience that Kovid and the Calibre users here usually have the answers before I even know to ask the questions.

I can see that, however, Calibre is so configurable that I was hoping that someone here had already concocted the magic formula to accomplish this.

For me the reader app is simply that, a reader app. I use none of Moon+'s library organization features, because all of that is done in CC.
I considered installing CC, but I didn't think it would get me anything that I can't accomplish by connecting to a PC and using Calibre itself - and with my modus operandi, I never have any need for "library organization" that can't be postponed until the next time I connect the tablet to the PC.
