Other things caused me to set this aside for while, but I got back to it today and now I really am confused. As noted in the 4/22, I deleted everything and then did a fresh download of most of the books. They showed up with all particulars in CC, but not in the file manager. I was thinking about downloading epub instead, so I tried the Delete All with Missing Book option and everything disappeared from CC. Then, it occurred to me that maybe this was OK ... I could download any book with K4A that I wanted to read and it didn't matter if there was no actual book downloaded (yes, I know that you said that was impossible, but that's what things looked like on my device).
So, I did a fresh download of everything with formats set to azw* and mobi. At the end of the download, file manager showed the CC directory full of files, but CC showed no books! I tried various things connecting and disconnecting and such hoping that it would notice all the books, but to no avail.
So, back to the plan about using a different format and possibly a different reader. I deleted all the files in the CC directory and then changed the format to epub and did a fresh download. Again, files in file manager and no books. Then I noticed that there was a search displayed at the top. I deleted that, and all the books appeared! I guess that even though the search criteria would have found books done fresh on the new set, that it was still pointing at prior books or some such.
So, now the only problem is connecting the downloaded books to FBReader (which I installed simply because it is what my wife uses on her Android tablet). It seems to point to /storage/emulated/0/books. FBReader won't navigate to /storage/emulated/0/Calibre_Companion (says permission denied when I get to emulated). But, CC seems to know about FBR since it will now open the books ... yes?
So, no need to delete all the books again and change the download location to books and redownload?
