Unhappy Library File Structure for Books Exported to eBook Device

Hello,

The file structure for books on my Windows PC using Calibre 4.13 has a separate folder for each book containing the book itself and a metadata.opf file. When sending books to an attached eBook reader (Android 6.01 OS) all book files are placed into one folder and all metadata is stored in one file (metadata.calibre) in the device root.

Is this the default configuration for file storage?

Some Android eBook applications appear to be expecting separate metadata.opf files per book and a folder structure mirroring the Calibre folder structure on the PC.

Was there a change to the default exported books file structure enforced by changes to an updated version of Calibre at some point?

Regards,
