Basically, an app is now only allowed to write to a folder on an SD card that it "owns", which means that using apps like Calibre Companion to manage books on an SD card is rather more difficult than it was with earlier Android releases.
Yikes. I didn't know that. Saying that, I use the external card only to store media. Presumably this limitation won't stop any app from reading say an ebook or an mp3 or a video file, no matter the location? If so, that would be a massive pain.

Personally, I do find an external card an essential. I suppose it depends on how much internal memory the tablet has.
