I now see that Calibre doesn't support folder configuration.

The reason calibre copies all those ebooks over into its own set of folders is so that it can have exclusive access to them, and so it can know exactly what they are, where they are, and what they're named. Think of it as a black box, one with a big warning label stating "NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE!" Or maybe a storage room with a locked door with a sign on it saying "PRIVATE - Calibre Only".

I see the point.
But, I think this can be improved. I encourage the developers to check out a mac application called Bookends. It keeps a rich metadata about the books, as Calibre does, as well as permit the user to configure the folder structure. it is very useful option because I want to index the files into a search engine (tool). Storing the metadata and the raw files like Pdf in the same folder creates a huge mess.
I see the suggestion for exporting. that is not good option because it will create duplicated. Duplicates are viruses in my view. It is always a pain to remove them once you duplicated them.
Calibre also should offer the user the option either to MOVE or copy the book.
I will check back if the folder structuring option is coming. I will use Bookends till then.
Thank you for the reply.
