I've just gotten an Amazon Fire (one of the cute little $50 jobbies). I'm trying to set up CC to store my books on the SD card, but it doesn't seem to be working. Even if I move the app itself to the card, the books still seem to go to internal memory. Every attempt to create a folder on the card fails.

I've read the FAQ on moving the books to SD. The folder in /Android/data/ doesn't get created, nor, of course, can I create it manually.

Full disclosure here: I'm using my registered copy of the Google Play version of CC, sideloaded onto the tablet. I'm willing to pay the $4 for the Amazon-specific version if that'll solve the problem, but honestly, cash is tight enough right now that I'd prefer not to go there if it's not required. I did try the demo Amazon version, but since the full Android app was still installed, I'm not sure it was a conclusive experiment.

Any suggestions? Alternate approaches (if I do the cloud on SD trick, will that update the "read" information, or is it read only?)?
