Because of Android's file system protection, CC must determine a public path to use for a directory. It does this by first asking Android for the URL form of the path, then asking Android for the path to the CC private directory in the memory in question (main or SD card), then working back from that to map the URL to the actual CC folder. The result is what CC uses. I don't know what Moon+ uses or why it uses it, but there isn't anything I can do about it.

FWIW: on my Nexus 5, running Android 6.0.1, Moon+ and CC agree that the path is /storage/emulated/0/CC/book. I don't know why your Samsung is doing something different.
