Is it possible to directly access a Calibre library residing on the mobile device that has been synchronized using a third-party app?

The only way I found was to declare the local library as a “cloud on the SD card” (for example residing in folder /sdcard/Calibre). The major shortcoming is that Calibre Companion creates another copy of every book in its /sdcard/Calibre_Companion folder. Is it possible to avoid that copy and have Calibre Companion pass the original file (in /sdcard/Calibre) to the reader app?
