It is amazing that companies go to the trouble of writing a manual then don't even include a link to it in the box, much less an electronic copy.

All I want to be able to do is tap "read" in CC & have the book open in a decent reader. I want to be able to manage my books in CC & only use the reader app to read the book. That being the case, I guess I can just let the books copy to the CC default older /storage/sdcard0/Calbre_Companion & not worry about the folder Moonreader+ has created, sdcard/books, nor do I actually have to import the books into Moonreader's folder.

You are correct, there is no reason that you need to use the Moon+ folder for CC and there is no reason to import the books into moon+ if you are using CC as your library manager.

That way if I decide to replace Moonreader & use something else it won't screw up where the books are located. If this is not correct, please let me know! The only books in the Moonreader created folder now are the 3 books that come with Moonreader. All the others are in the CC folder as noted above.

Again, you are correct. Most of the reader apps are happy to load the book from CC's folder. The exceptions I can think of are Kindle for Android, Aldiko, and possibly the Kobo app.

I found I am able to get the pages to turn in Moonreader by tapping either side of the page but it seems quite "laggy" & there is no page turn simulation like there is on my Nook HD+. Perhaps there is a setting that will provide an similar "page turn" option. I will explore this when I have more time, but if someone could let me know if it is possible I would appreciate it.

You can also tell moon+ to use the volume button(s) as page down/up.

There is a page turn animation setting in the Visual options near the bottom.

Until I bought the Samsung I was using my Nook HD+ to read & the Ipad3 for everything else. I purchased an Android tablet so I could continue to use CC & had hoped I could combine both reading & other functions in one device. I had planned to gift the HD+ but I think I will hold onto it for a while. The tablet is great & very fast
but overall, reading does not seem as satisfying, or natural, as it does on the Nook HD+. I don't know if it is the slightly larger size of the tablet, or if it is the reading app I am using. I guess only time & some experimentation will tell.

I would think that the shape of the Note isn't optimal for reading, compared to some of the 7" tablets. But that is water under the bridge, given that you now own it.

If I had your machine, I would read in portrait and try using largish side margins so that the text block is shaped more like a physical book. I am not sure whether the empty space would be disturbing or not.

Again, many thanks for everyone's help. I could tell you were getting exasperated with me but I didn't understand you were referring to the bezel button & not the usual setting icons found within the apps. I appreciate your hanging in. I guess sometimes it does take a village!

I am glad things are now clearer.

When you have time and energy, try the free versions of some other apps like FBReader or Cool Reader. You might prefer them.
