I checked the directory structure afterwards. Author folders were present but their content was erased. I don't know if this happens every time. But it sure gives me second thoughts about using Amazon e-readers. Just sold my Scribe. Keeping my Paperwhite only so I can download my purchased e-books via USB. Now using my Kobo e-readers.
You really should not be using author based directories because as you see, you'll end up eventually with a bunch of empty directories as you read and delete the eBooks.
