Well, that is cool.

Looking at that screen capture, my guess is that you can tap on the sync folder and change it to whatever you want. I am sure that the default for Mantano isn't "Calibre_Companion". What isn't clear is whether or not sub-folders are allowed.

However, I also suspect that things won't go well if the sync folder is on an SD card when a device runs Android 5 or later. The permissions will get messed up for sure.

Putting these two suppositions together, I suspect that if CC stores books in main memory in a one-level-deep folder, and if Mantano is told to sync from that folder, then things will work "better".

What exactly is Mantano syncing? Is it actually copying books between devices?
