There is no workaround. Calibre was originally designed to keep all books inside its own database. Later, that was changed to take the books out of the database and put them in folders, but Calibre still controls the folder names and the book titles of the copies of the books it manages. That's designed into the system and can't be changed. You must give calibre a copy of each book and it will serve them back to your device or to the disk with any name and any directory structure you want. If you want a different directory structure, you have to keep it separate.

This isn't a criticism of calibre, but simply pointing out that for some of us our attachment to our directory structures has more to it than simply not "seeing the light".

You may have needs that Calibre can't meet. For those who don't understand the advantages of Calibre's design, it's worthwhile explaining them. If you've already "seen the light," but need Calibre to do something that it's not designed to do and can't afford the space for a duplicate set of books that
will meet your needs, you probably shouldn't use Calibre.
