Any way to select "Send to Device" directory?

[coliva]

I have an Android tablet with Kindle software and CoolReader for Epubs. I'm sending Epubs using Calibre to the device, but Calibre automatically finds and sends the book to the /kindle directory. My Kindle software can already download it's own books from Amazon and I really want to send my Epubs to another directory for reading by CoolReader. Unfortunately, when in CoolReader, it only allows me to manually navigate to the /kindle directory to load one book. It would be much smoother if I could setup Calibre to push Epubs to the CoolReader book directory.

Any thoughts on how to make this work or another direction to easily get both Amazon and Epub books both working smoothly on the tablet? Thanks.

/directory/path/{regular} {templates}

In other words: Literals accepted as part of a template

Thanks much theducks. Just found that in the Calibre preferences. I saw that field before, but with the default settings, I didn't recognize it as a directory entry.

calibre defauls usually only include fields. eg. {title}

The clue you can use more is the dash between
slash is a folder level

example:

{series[0]}-series/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} {title}_{id}_{authors}

creates a folder from the first letter of a series: series_A
Creates another folder within with the full series name: AnySeries
Inside that, it puts the title, preceded by the index 02-Title ...
