There's no such thing as a "library" folder. A library is a flat representation of your books. The filesystem is a hierarchical representation of them.
Putting all your books into a single folder and use the metadata/cover that coverbrowser plugin offers works fine for a few books but don't scale well.
Also, the real benefit of a library is their search capabilities, so you can search Sci-fi books made in the 80's or books with specific tags. You cannot do that on a filemanager (well you could technically but it will be painfully slow).
If you're a calibre user and you want some sort of search metadata capabilities you can try the calibre plugin search. We rely on calibre metadata placed somewhere on the reader so we just need to find recursively for that file and trust that file contents.
