If you want to carry, store, or otherwise play with the files outside of Calibre, you can make sure to convert all your books to a format of your choice, 'select all', and save them to disk separately.
You can go to "Preferences" and "Saving Books to Disk" and set it up so you can save the books in any way you want. I save mine in folders based on tags, then the files themselves are given the title and author name in the file name, and then use "Save to Disk" for storage. The settings look like this in "Saving Books to Disk"...
{tags}/{title} - {authors}
Then just select all the books, click "Save to Disk", tell it what format and where, and it'll then store the books where and how you want.
Then you can play with those copies, and I store them in a file manager on my Ipad, and can open the epubs in other apps. So I don't need to connect them to Calibre to carry them around. But *never* touch the way Calibre stores books inside it. It needs them to be that way so it can manage them.
