I recently purchased a Fire HD 8", and I installed Calibre Companion on it. I also bought an SD card, because the internal storage was nowhere near enough. So, naturally, I put the Calibre Companion folder on the SD card, because that's where all the free space is. And I was able to download over 200 books to that folder.

But today, when I tried to access Calibre through CC, it claimed "Library is read only", and said that the folder to which I had already downloaded over 200 books was somehow read only. I am running the most recent version of Fire OS, which is not based on Android 4.4 (which the message suggests might be the problem). I don't know why it's suddenly not working. And I am not happy. What is going on here?
