Device: Lenovo Ideatab S6000
Android: Jelly Bean 4.2.2
external micro sd: SanDisk SDHC 64 GB
CC: V4.2.5b

I recently reformatted my 64 gb external sd card because I'd been reworking my calibre library on my pc and I wanted to reload it.

When I originally mounted the sd card I didn't have too much trouble pointing CC at the external sd card and storing the books there. However since reformatting and remounting the sd card CC won't let me specify a path to the sd card.

The default folder I am presented with (after some messing around!) is /storage/emulated/o//mnt/sdcard2/books/

I can't find a way to select a pathway selecting from a higher folder level than /storage/emulated so I can't get CC to select a folder on the external sd. Even if I type the pathway omitting the emulated and specifying sd card 1 the data still gets put on the internal "sd card".

I've read the threads here and none of them seem to have a solution for exactly this. I know android kitkat 4.4 has issues with external sd cards but I'm running 4.2.2 which theoretically should be OK - and, as I said, I did originally have CC set up to use the external sd.

Any ideas? Thanks.
