From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Open the Preferences in Calibre
Click on "Saving books to Disk" (found under Import/Export)
Make sure "Save cover separately," "Update metadata in saved copies," and "Save metadata in separate OPF file" are all unchecked.
Adjust the "Save template" to the filename format that you prefer. You can use variables as folder names so, for example,
{author_sort}/{title}
would put everything by Stephen King in a folder titled "King, Stephen" and each book would be inside of a self-titled folder.Select all of the books you want, then click the floppy disk icon and save them to a temporary directory.
Delete the old library, then import a new library (with the new filenames) from the temporary directory.
Delete the temporary directory.
Or you can just use symlinks. :P
