Okay, bear with me please - I'm a bit of a technotard.

I have a tablet with limited storage capacity so I use an external SD Card to store ebooks sideloaded via usb from my pc's Calibre. Then they get imported into Moon+ reader pro. However, although all the actual epubs are on the sdcard, the covers all end up on the tablet's internal storage and are often as large as the epubs - which clogs up the internal storage and making Moonie use its generic covers (yuk) when the space is full.

I'm hoping Calibre Companion might be a better option of managing my library while keeping free space on my internal storage.

So I have some questions about Calibre Companion....
Can I still use the external sd card as the default folder/storage?
If yes, would it save my internal storage space (as in would it not drag all the covers into the internal storage)?

And since I don't have permanent wifi with my tablet - I do a wifi hotspot thingy whenever I need to connect it to the internet...
Do I have to delete all the ebooks off my sd card and reload them via wifi or can CC read/import/sideload (whatever the correct term is) from the sd card?
Do I have to wifi connect every time I want to load new books on the device or can I still do a USB transfer and get CC to import/read from the extSd?

Oh, my tablet is a "generic" Dxtreme D709B and runs android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Thanks in advance for any and all help - it'd be hugely appreciated.
