There is no option either to select storage location.

Another thing that is weird - deleting book from library does not automatically delete the downloaded version in the app.

So count on only relying on the internal storage only. Takes about 150 mb for each 10 hrs of audiobook.

Oh that is under the Note4 with 4.4.4
I have the same with my G running 4.4.4. Kindle app I can put on SD card, but when I checked after downloading some audio through kindle unlimited, it put those on the device storage, not sd card. Audible it seems to put both the app and the books on the sd card. Scribd wants to stay on device storage.
I put in a 32 GB SD card in mine, but if most can't be put on it, there wasn't much point in it. I didn't know that though. But since I don't keep a million songs on my device, or a bunch of books, I should be ok with the available device space. I think its 5.3 or some thing out of 8.

So it might be a good idea to look for android phones with internal storage.

Not sure what I am going to put on my SD card. Could have gotten a smaller one. . I try to move any apps that allow it over just in case.
