No. The "use SD card" option appears only if 1) the device is running Android 4.4 or later, and 2) Android reports that an external SD card is available and writable. For Android 4.3 and earlier a different button appears.

There is one possibility that occurred to me while I was looking at the code. Can you put more than one external SD card into your device? If so then CC might be looking at the one that is not installed.

EDIT: before you reinstalled, did you check the SD card for the directory /Android/data/com.multipie.calibreandroid and delete it if it is there? I ask because KitKat enforces user-specific permissions on SD card folders. If the folder was created by a different user, or if the folder was created before a device was reset to factory defaults (which creates a new user), then an app like CC will not be able to write its own folder. This is what kaufman described in his post that I referred to earlier.
