I answered there.

Being my inpatient self I plunged ahead when I did not get a response within a couple of hrs - guess people have better things to do with their Friday night! Per that message I have no setting option on the top right side of CC where I would normally chose a folder location for the books to be stored.
As I said in the other post, looking at pictures of the Note I think that its menu button is on the bottom of the device, just to the left of the largish button.

So I just loaded a couple of books hoping I would see where they installed after. They went into /sdcard/Calibre_Companion. I then installed Moonreader+. I clicked on "read" on one of the books in CC & the book opened in Moonreader. However, it appears that Moonreader's install created a folder called sdcard/books. Since I have no setting option in CC on the Samsung, like I do with my Nook HD+ , there is no way for me to change over to /sdcard/books. (I also have no options to change the folder location in Moonreader. Do you have any idea why no options are showing in CC & how I can get them back?
The same button I mentioned above should open Moon+'s settings.

I am not sure what you are trying to do by making Moon+ and CC use the same folder. The only reason I can think of to do this is if you want to use the Moon+ library bookshelf, which isn't something I do. I use CC for all searching/selecting etc, then use Moon+ only as a reader.

From here things get worse. There is something drastically wrong with Moonreader+ (paid app). When the book opens I can only scroll, I can't turn the pages. I also can't go back to a previous page or to the table of contents. The behavior is the same with both the 3 preloaded books & the books I added through Calibre Companion. I opened one of the books loaded through CC a second time & now I have 2 copies of the book on my bookshelf!
I think that the Moon+ default is tapping the screen edge to page forward and back. I don't think that I changed to options to do that. I also think that tapping the center of the screen will bring up a mini-menu that lets you get to all of the moon+ settings.

On the other hand, it could be that the Note is intercepting taps and the like and doing something different. Someone with a Note will need to chime in about this.

I know Moonreader + app has many ways to customize the reading experience but I can't find any way to access them. I tried tapping on both the top & bottom of both the main page & a book page thinking I could bring up a menu of options. Nothing happens.
Tap the center.

I looked under options at the top of the book shelf page and all I see are the basic options related to Home, My Shelf, Main Folder, Render Quality, etc.

I went to Moonreader website & read the FAQs & it said if there was strange behavior to delete the application, shut down the device & then reinstall it. I can't find a way to do that either. I went back to the Google store & the only options provided are Open & Refund. I emailed the developer (In Taiwan) but do not have high hopes for a response. Even if I ask for a refund I don't know that action will remove the app. Naturally, unless I can uninstall it & the Play store recognizes I have done so, I can't reinstall it.

Any help would be most appreciated!
It seems that almost all of your troubles are related to not noticing the little button on the bezel. If I have guessed correctly, that will open the settings menu of the currently running app.
