This error has been noted on the Boyue Likebook Facebook page by others, and there are assurances from Boyue that an update solving the problem will be forthcoming. I write to make sure that error is known in this thread, and to point out that the recent firmware update to the 8.1 upgrade firmware does not solve the problem. Hopefully the fix will be OTA and not require re-rooting.
Also, it is not at all obvious to me that my Mars is faster or better in any way from the update. I was satisfied with the Mars at 6.1, and even recently upgraded to an Alita for large PDFs. Since my Mars is significantly less useful without the SD Card, I recommend waiting before rooting your device to 8.1 until this, and who knows what other catastrophic problem, is resolved.

On the external 128G SD Card, in the root directory of the external SD card, make a new directory named 'books' and transfer all your books to this directory.
reboot
in library page rescan for books.this might take a while if you have a lot of eBooks on SD card.
Now ,As well as Directories WiFyTransfer and bluetooth visible at top of eBook titles on the library screen page will be a new directory item named Books.
open the directory named Books and then all your books ,residing on the 128G SD Card's /books directory, will be visible.
Also if you have a lot of eBooks then it is much easier to navigate to your eBook of choice if you organise your eBooks into sub-directories inside (external 128G SD Card) /books directory(I.E. (sub-directory's named) directory1,directory2,directory3,ETC. ETC.).
Now ,As well as Directories WiFyTransfer and bluetooth visible at top of eBook titles will be a new item named Books.
and on opening this directory then sub-directories (I.E. sub-directory1,sub-directory2,sub-directory3,ETC. ETC.) will be visible to you and on opening one of them you can select your desired eBook to read.
