Okay first of all I was only going to try to use "Genre" save folders for the "Dummies" ebooks to make it easier for me to organize he "How To" ebooks. But since I don't use the "Calibre" to open ebooks or to hold the ebooks currently using the original folder saving options might be best. Until I start using the program to actually hold and open the ebooks.

the only reason I was using the "Genre save" was so it was easier to find Dummies ebooks based on "genre" without needing to open "Calibre". And then I was going to move the "Genre Folders" to my tablet so the tablet was going to be organized by "Genre Folders" rather then ebooks.

Example all Crafting ebooks would be int here own folder and such.

But I don't think that will be needed though since I can use "Tags" on the "app" I use on my tablet.

Currently I only read manga and each title is a folder and then each chapter is a "CBZ" so I don't need to worry about "Tags" or "Genre" I do like the "tags" and "Genre" on the left side of "Calibre" but I currently only use "calibre" to edit the ebooks information to be moved to my tablet. and I have not yet moved any ebooks to the tablet.

So I have a 10" tablet with several manga titles and 2 other tablets a fire tablet and a onn tablet. I wold like to place all of my "Dummies" on one tablet and then all my other ebooks on another tablet. Since I don't use the tablets for anything else other then that.

So I think I will go back and just use "Tags" for the apps and then use "Genre" for when I start using the "calibre" on my laptop once I start using my desktop as a media PC. I don't use my laptop for read currently only my tablet. So I am still working on different ways to save and organize my files on my PC. And I was thinking that organizing the "Dummies" ebooks by "Genre" would be easier since I don't use "Calibre" to find or organize my ebooks and only for edit tags and metadata.

Once I start using my laptop as a read PC then calibre will be a bigger help to me but currently I use my tablet. So for right now I will be switching back to the original way of saving ebooks once there editing.

I hope this makes a bit of sense.
