I have no idea what file conventions / hierarchies my Kobo reader actually uses , but so long as calibre knows that stuff I am good to go.

But the OP has
explicitly stated that they do not want "using calibre & 'collections'".
The simplest, easiest to remember, easiest to use system is where what is "under the bonnet" matches where "they appear to be" and you can arrange, rearrange, to your heart's content, using your OS's file manager, without having to add, use and remember new "tools" -- i.e. the folders/directories-based viewpoint.
Some prefer using Calibre to do everything, that's perfectly okay. But others do not like its One-eReading-Manager-to-Rule-Them-All approach. When somebody asks for help with a folders/directories approach
instead of Calibre, sending them back to Calibre is considerably less-than-helpful.
