OK so if I could have my druthers...

Would make it possible to change directory and be able to read data in new and old directory - warning might be good short term bit, telling people that if you change from orig directory you will have to start over. (data still there in folders but not registering in CC) I think this is what really threw me as I figured if nothing had changed e.g. no adds or deleted on calibre it should have been fine to return to orig directory.

Druther 2 - a way to access higher up the directory tree. On Asus on I can see above MNT - to Removeable/MicroSD/CC but putting in that path is rejected by CC.

Still love app - filling serious gap n market - you will do well.

I was asking if you could see the books or the SD card when your device is plugged in with a cable. Calibre won't see it, but you might be able to get some information about the paths. In addition, if you have books on your device that aren't in calibre, you could copy them to a folder on your computer and then add them to calibre.

As for the "spelling" of the path, neither Steven nor I have a device like yours so we have no way to know it. You might be able to find it by using a file manager app and exploring the folder tree. For example, using the Rhythm Software File Manager, I was able to go to /storage and see the name of the standard SD memory on my Galaxy Nexus. I have no idea if that would work for you.
