Yes, there is. You might want to have another structure. And you might want to be able to just copy the structure directly to a reader. And for me a directory structure must be suitable for navigating using dired in Emacs. And so on.
I mostly use command line programs. Sometimes I use a GUI program. It seems to me that Calibre is not designed for mixed use of command line programs and a GUI. From my point of view the data representation should be optimized for command line use. And than the GUI has to use this structure.
