If you mean separate subfolders the same parent yes, if you mean the same target folder - no.

Firstly, the editor unpacks epubs to the 'cache folder' but copies files to the 'temp folder' when the editor's File browser->Open with feature is used. If the cache and temp folders were one and the same, the file system would probably throw some sort of duplicate name error - or worse.

Secondly, to improve performance the viewer stuffs the recently read books in the cache folder.

And there's bound to be some thirdlies and fourthlies
