I think you need to understand how your preferred reader handles metadata. Just because the Title has an apostrophe doesn't mean that the filename has to. It took me a little time to cotton on to that. The actual filename should be invisible to the user with the displayed title taken from metadata contained in the book. So the book title could be "Annie's Attic Mysteries" but the filename "Annies Attic Mysteries.epub" or even "AAC123.epub" (always assuming you are using epub format).
If you try renaming the actual file on your reader you will get some idea if this will solve the problem for you. The problem may even be deeper than the reader app itself and may be an Android issue.
The way I have arranged things allows everything to be displayed according to the actual book title and author while having sanitised file and folder names.
A point to ponder - if your book title had a "\" character in it what would you expect to happen - the "\" is not a valid character in a filename. I have books like that and the filenames cannot follow the titles but it doesn't stop the titles displaying correctly as the reading app derives them from the metadata not the filename. The same goes for a "."; some characters just don't belong in filenames. Don't think of it as a "workround" just good practice.
Though I use Calibre it isn't essential, it just allows me to forget it's happening in the background rather than manually naming files for transfer depending on which reader I'm using.
