I put the (3) files into a new folder and then I name the folder sometimes the name is not exact but I hope that wont be a problem.

Here's what I'm tying to figure out. Can I have them save automatically in there own folders once saved.

If possible please tell me how thank you. I have tried converting them and saving them both in bulk and singles and it still dose not make folders for me.
if you convert kindle files that you have imported to calibre, the converted file should be in the same folder as the kindle file in the calibre library structure. You can bulk convert them and then remove files of a specific format from selected books to remove the kindle formats.

What I would suggest is creating a new library, importing batches of the kindle ebooks, updating metadata, covers, etc., then converting to epub. Once that is done, delete the kindle format ebooks and copy/delete the epubs to your main library.

If you want to maintain a file structure for your books outside of the calibre library, you can use save to disk with templates to create the directory/file structure you want. Those books will be outside the calibre library and calibre will not manage them. The structure of the calibre library is fixed and not something the user should attempt to modify. Treat it as a black box that you can extract files and information from.
