Yes, a filename starting with title, appended author per book in the root is going to fail, and no Author directories. That's my point, if you let Calibre use default on Kobo their is no problem. Author, collections, series etc is metadata.
If it's NOT a Kobo, then you maybe want a fancy filename created and absolutely a top level folder (All kindles and Android). I think the Sony ereaders work with sufficient metadata that author folders/directories work.
Of course KOReader currently is a bit awkward with author folders if you want to browse by title. I don't like filemanager type browsers for rereaders. I much prefer the native Sony / Kindle / Kobo eInk metadata based browsing.
