Okay.

So I'm gonna make another post since it has become all convoluted.

Basing in your original post, you wanna use Calibre Companion along with Moon+ to organize your books.

I don't exactly know what you're planning to do with the settings, but they are probably hidden or has a proprietary file extension that only Moon+ can make sense of.

If you are planning to use Calibre Companion, then, as I've posted above, you will use Calibre Companion to view your library. Then you can launch Moon+ when you press "Read" on a book. You don't have to use Moon+ or import books using Moon+.

Calibre Companion has its own default directory named Calibre_Companion and all the books from Calibre will go there.

Don't change the directory of Moon+ to match Calibre Companion's. They have to have a separate directory since you'll be treating Moon+ as an app to ONLY read books on and not manage them.

Android has some hinky rules about multiple apps managing the same directory.

As for the settings and reading progress, I've confirmed that all books that haven't been imported using Moon+ will not be included in the back up.

But the thing is, if you use Calibre to manage your books on your computer, then it is to your advantage to use Calibre Companion.

Many users have paired it with Moon+, but personally, Moon+ has been getting worse in the support department.

That's why I'm transitioning to Pocketbook.
