ES file explorer can write to the external sd after it requests access. Moon+ can't wrte to the external sd - when I try to set the default folder to the external sd it returns an error. I think the inability to use books on the external sd is a problem for the Amazon app only. When I use ES to put a book on the external sd Moon+ can read it.
I checked hubby's Tab S2 that has lollipop 5.02 and you can get to the external sd using /storage/extSdCard and /mnt/extSdCard.

ES file explorer works the same as it did on the HD 8 - the app needs to request access first to be able to write to the external sd. CC demo couldn't write to the external sd. I chose an existing folder on the external sd as the storage location for epub in settings. It didn't give me an error when I tried to download, it just didn't download. I downloaded an azw3 to internal sd and CC gave an error when I tried to move to the external sd.
