Thank you for clearing that up. I guess i just need to leave the Calibre internal library alone. The eReader I use for my Windows Mobile phone already has a folder structure that i was trying to get Calibre to use. Using Calibre on dekstop may not require you to ever use your folder library to access your books, but the same is not true on my device. It loads books exactly as the folder is named and it does not recognize tags, metadata, etc. And unfortunately is the only reader that has the features I like. So i was trying to get the two folder strcutures as similar as possible. Though it looks as though I can't, I think you guys have led me in right direction. I will leave Calibre internal libray alone and use the "save to disk" feature to save books onto my device with the "save template" adjusted so that the folder structure is what my device eRreader requires.

So thank you everyone for all the help!
