What I use here is a 7" android tablet with FBReader. My eBooks live on a 32GB microSD card in the tablet. I put books on the Card using Calibre. FBReader can find and use them just fine.
FBReader got the nod here because it handles multiple formats. I prefer ePub, but have stuff in Mobi, PDF and other things. As long as they aren't encumbered with DRM, FBReader can open and display them. (I don't
get DRM encumbered titles, so that's not an issue.)
FBReader is free and open source. The free version does everything the donate Premium version does. The main difference between the freeware and payware version is that the payware version builds in the PDF viewer and the Bookshelf GUI, but you can get both of those in the free version by installing plugins.
On my device, my eBooks live in an eBooks directory on the external card, and FBReader Settings let me change the default directory where it looks for books to the location on the card.
On my particular device, the fastest and simplest way to get books on the card is to pop it from the tablet, plug it into a USB adapter, and plug it into my desktop, then use Connect/Share Connect to Folder, and select the eBooks directory on the card. When I'm done adding, eject the card from the desktop, pop it back into the tablet, run FBReader and tell it to rescan the specified directory.
I'd need to know more about your specific device to get an idea of what teh problem is.
