I started over so I could show step by step what I did.

Uninstall CC
Erase the SD card
With ES File explorer, look at the SD card, and in particular Android/data. CC isn't there.
Install CC. Change no settings.
Again with ES File explorer, look at Android/data. This time we see CC's private folder.
In CC, go to Settings / Formats and Folders. Tap the "Default" line at the top. Pick Choose Folder. I see the following, and in particular a Use SD card button.
I tap the Use SD Card button and see a warning. I tap OK and I see:
I tap Use this folder. I see an "Are you sure"?. I tap OK. I now see the Formats and Folders screen showing the path to the SD card.
I press OK to close the Formats and Folders dialog then use the Back button to get to the main CC screen. I check the path Android/data/com.multipie.calibreandroid/files with ES file Explorer. The folder is empty, as it should be.
I connect as a wireless device and send 2 books to CC, and epub and a mobi. Checking with ES File Explorer I see those books on the SD card.
Go to book details for the epub and choose "Open book with ...". CC offers me FBReader. Choosing that opens the book.
Go to book details for the mobi and choose "Open book with ...". CC offers both the built-in reader and FBReader. Choosing the built-in reader opens the book, resetting the reading position to the beginning. As expected, the book is not shown in the Fire's "Books" screen.

As far as I can tell the Fire did exactly what I expected it to do. It offered CC's private folder on the SD card and stored books there without a problem. The only "problem" is that the built-in reader doesn't remember the book, but there isn't anything CC can do about this.
