I pretty much only read one genre (Fantasy) so I don't need genre folders. I don't care about author names either so I don't have author folders.
I have one folder per series and my AutoShelf mod creates a collection for each folder, so I have collections like "Harry Potter/", "Kingkiller Chronicles/", and the like.

I've however noticed that it's not possible, since calibre library needs them to be stored in main folder. All books by the same author in a auther folder.

Careful, those folders with "Author (Random Number)", that's just Calibre's internal way of storing books. You should never touch this structure, if you modify it in a file browser, Calibre will be confused and no longer be able to manage your books. It's a database as a folder structure, it should be ignored/left alone, only accessed through Calibre.
You should create a second folder and use Calibre to export books to this folder, Calibre can create any directory structure you like for you, regardless of what it's internal structure looks like. It's all a matter of how you configure Calibre.
Calibre (with Kobo addon) can also create collections for you on the Kobo Reader. Having the kobo do that directly (with autoshelf mod) is just my personal preference; I don't let Calibre copy books onto the reader directly.
