tetsing on huawei media tab. android 9, cc beta, latest moon reader
i downloaded a book from calibre content server, tapped read... book opened in MOon & I was able to add a bookmark and a highlight - no problem.
there is a recently added SD card but downloads are still set to go to internal memory. , my download directory is books/moonreader
as for the mechanics ( responding to another thread)
i now have 2 identically named folders MoonReader
same capitalisation. one has just this test book, the other has all my downloaded books including the test
looking more carefully using Moon's file explorer, there is nesting:
so I have books/Moonreader (23 books) then INSIDE that folder I have an attachments folder ( empty), ANOTHER MoonReader folder, and within that 2nd folder, another attachments folder ( where the new test book is)
and in edit book information , I see the path as
/sdcard/Books/Moonreader/MoonReader/attachements/book file name

i think I will stick to me previous workflow to avoid such confusion. I will download with CC, but I will open only with Moon - either from My Files or from My Shelf

maybe there's a way to trick android into working only with one folder and one copy of the book when book is OPENed from CC, but its not obvious how

TL: DR
it will be necessary to always open books from CC or always open from Moon file explorer/shelf. otherwise the user will have 2 copies of books in use, 2 storage loctations, 2 database entries, last page read, annotation etc.
