At least that's how I would do it. Apparently there is a better (albeit more complex) way to configure it which is documented here: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/sub_groups.html
Either way, once you transfer your books to your device they will be stored in a nice directory hierarchy that is easy to access via KOReader. |
Please remember that under calibre, you are limited in the path length you can use. Which would cause your suggested system to break horribly with a book such as one of my XYL's favourites:
Frog Challenge Anthology [02] - 1001 Dark Nights Short Story Anthology 2020 - Fiona Archer & Louisa Bacio & Laura M. Baird & Kait Ballenger & Asa Maria Bradley & Eden Bradley & Boone Brux & C. G. Burnette & Cara Carnes & Caraway Carter & Sierra Cartwright & S. A. Clayton & Katana Collins & Janie Crouch & Patricia D. Eddy & Zoey Ellis & Zoe Hill & Sara L. Hudson & Tracey Jerald & A. D. Justice & Terri E. Laine & Michelle Mars & Gina L. Maxwell & Kayt Miller & Dani René & Gen Ryan & Blue Saffire & Ella Sheridan & Mayra Statham & Delancey Stewart & Jen Talty & Mary Ting & Reina Torres & Magan Vernon & Jennifer Woodhull & Khloe Wren
The filename that I send to her Libra 2 would be:
Elib/Archer, Fiona/1001 Dark Nights Short Story Anthology 2020 - Fiona Archer
I do truncate the author sort used for the first subdirectory under Elib and the author name appended to the title to the first author name which is trivial to do under calibre. I never need to look at the filename since the series information and all the authors are stored in the device database so I can search on any of series, author, title, subtitle.
Please let me know how you would configure a directory structure to allow locating that book by any author, the title or the series in a minimal number of taps/keystrokes.
