I have installed CC 3.3.6 in my kit kat 4.4.2 LG vpad 500 tablet. I have moved all the large files (like cbrs, pdfs...) in the external sd card and only use internal memory for epubs/mobis, that all together total less than 5 MB. Still, when I check settings>internal storage>apps>calibre companion I get a huuuge 886 MB (8.45 for the app itself, 877 for the data).

Now, what of the following is true?
a) although it says 877 MB in internal memory, not all of these 877 are really there, most of them are at the external SD card. So actually, CC doesn't occupy 877 of my internal memory (this would be nice!)
b) since these files (pdfs, cbrs) were initially in the internal memory, moving them didn't clear the space
c) something else?
