Seems to have helped, I'm no longer having it search outside of my Where to search for books folder tree.
While I was doing that, I discovered another behavior which may have been at the root of why my local storage had previously become so disorganized. The setting of
Where to store downloaded books doesn't seem to "stick" (remain in effect) within FBReader for me.
If my tablet is off for long enough, when I return to FBReader, select Network Library, and then Local Calibre Library (how I named referencing my Calibre Content Server), all of the sudden
NO titles are showing as downloaded. They all show the blue & white download icon, none with the green & white local copy downloaded icon. This is true even if I perform
Reload, and seems to happen regardless of whether I use:
/storage/sdcard1/EBooks
/ext_sdcard/EBooks
/mnt/ext_sdcard/EBooks
for the
Where to store downloaded books setting. When I notice this, if I return to
Settings, Directories and change the setting to one of the other forms, then return to my network library, I see correct indications of downloaded or not, and additional downloads drop into the folder tree correctly.
If I don't notice, and download some eBooks, FBReader recreates
/storage/emulated/0/Books and starts dropping downloads into that folder, even though the FBReader UI is still showing me a setting that references my external microSD card! No wonder I had stuff scattered all over the tablet before.

Which version of FBReaderJ are you running?

Also, file a bug. ...

2.5.9 (2050920) according to Settings, About FBReader.
I'll file a bug on the intermittent behavior I'm seeing with Where to store downloaded books. In the mean time, at least all the experimenting has taught me how to spot it and work around it.
Thanks,
Alan
