Calibre sends my ebooks in a folder with the author's name

Hello.
I changed recently my hard drive and i had to install calibre again, but now when I send the ebooks to my reader or when I save to my computer calibre put my ebook inside a folder with the name of the author. It's tedious beause each time I have to copy and past my ebook- if anybody knows what to do for calibre to send or save just the ebook without a folder please let me know. I've tried in configuration but I don's see anything

Not sure what that means. Where do you copy and paste it?

Calibre does not save ebooks to a flat folder structure. It always saves to author folders.

What are you trying to achieve by removing author folders? What benefit does it give you? What possible difference could it make? And if you are moving your files outside of Calibre, you are corrupting your Calibre library.

I'm guessing the OP means the "save to disk" feature. When you right-click on the icon, there are several options. Also there is a template in the settings indicating how Calibre saves the books. The OP may have had a different template on their previous computer.

Thanks for the answers. I don't know if I'm explain it well. I send my ebooks to the kindle through calibre and then I save them in my computer too. And before I had to install it new calibre sent just the ebook and save to my computer just the ebook. Now it creates a folder with the author name and the ebook and cover inside. To search a book it's tedious and sometimes if I don't extract the ebook my kindle didn't recognice it.

You probably need to adjust the Preferences->Save to Disk settings:
