/ebooks/textbooks
/ebooks/work
/ebooks/magazines
Having three Calibre libraries named "textbooks", "work" and "magazines", all in /ebooks, would do this.

Again, that can be done with Calibre. Use the "Save to disk" functionality to save the books you want. You can even e-mail from within Calibre.

If you want to replicate the library, just copy the library directory and it's sub-directories.
