One problem becoming more and more common with the first method, and a major driver for this app, is that newer Android devices cannot be connected to calibre by a cable. These newer versions of Android (versions 3 and up, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jellybean) do not support being connected as a "disk drive", something calibre requires to be able to "see" the device. The app we are developing gets around this problem by connecting to calibre wirelessly (wifi, no cable).
This app seems like it would be very useful to lots of us. However, concerning the problem in your OP, I would like to mention that there may also be other solutions, such as this free app , which allows your external sd card to be seen as a disk drive / usb mass storage. As mentioned in the article, this may or may not work with your particular device, but there may be equivalents of it for your device (search xda).
