Flattening folder structure in Calibre Library and on Kobo device?
Hi,
I've long been sideloading my epub collection between a version-controlled folder and my Kobo devices, using Calibre only for editing metadata and conversion jobs, and have always kept the folder structure flat for easy readability/searchability/etc-ability. So, my library folder would look like: Code:
library/.git library/booka.epub library/bookb.epub [etc] Code:
library/authora/booka/booka.epub library/authora/bookb/bookb.epub library/authorb/bookc/bookc.epub [etc] It's very possible I'm missing an obvious option here, but is there a way to determine how Calibre saves its library structure, and how it sends to device? Thanks in advance. |

Don't concern yourself with the library folder structure, it's largely irrelevant, see ==>> Why doesn’t calibre let me store books in my own folder structure?
Then see Send to Device here ==>> The Graphical User Interface: Actions BR |

Ok, I was able to flatten the structure and put all books in one folder on my device, which is good. I guess I'll just deal with them being in a concrete structure in the Calibre Library. I'll get used to it. Thanks, all!

Note with Fat32 you might run out of space for file names with a totally flat all ebooks in root.

I have a folder called books and that's where I stick my books. I don't use the root.
