If your first folder "ebooks" is important for you, it's better to use :.num to limit chars by yourself than to let automatic trimming. That's because trimming will apply to the whole path and can change your "ebooks" folder to a shorter word.
The device uses FAT32 for the user partition. That means that any OS using it has a maximum length of 255 for the full path of a file. The 185 characters is a hard limit imposed by the driver for books because the device generates other files with prefixes and suffixes that add close to 40 characters to the path. No matter what you do to the template, the driver will prevent the path from being longer 185 characters.
