Storing Zinio and Overdrive Content on SD Card

Hey - just wondering if there's any way to store my Zinio magazines or borrowed library books on the micro SD card, instead of internal storage.

The reason I ask this is that I backed-up all of my downloaded magazines and borrowed books onto my SD card before I did a factory reset - and then once I did that, when I loaded my apps (Zinio and Overdrive) and neither one could 'see' the books on the extcard. I ended up just re-downloading them to the internal storage (since there weren't that many), but I can see needing the sd card in the future (particularly for magazines). Perhaps there's a set-up option for these apps that can allow them to open the files from the sd card, rather than looking at iternal storage?

I am a little confused about this...

Pokee, I think you merely (on each of the apps you are using...) use the find/import function to scan your directories and then highlight the mag or book file you want the app to process. I know this is what I have done with Akido for instance. I use its file search and then open up the exsd folder. I then import the file into its library. If it is a PDF file, then do exactly the same thing with a PDF reader and use its find/import function. Works for me! Edit: I have also helped myself by using my computer to create a whole bunch of folders for the different formats. It makes it way easier to track down your downloaded content.
