Now there are no more errors under Calibre and I can transfer my books to the SD card.
I have now installed calibre companion on Mars and tried to open the directory on the external SD card. There were no problems with this under Android 6, but here under Android 8.1 . I only get an info for the path and no dialog box for selecting the directory pops up.
Is there any other way?

sounds like you have originally formatted the 128SD 'for only use in likebook''
if you boot up with this card inserted it becomes part of the operating system
this means that you cannot format it with the likebook because it is using it for the operating system.
power-off likebook and then remove 128SD card and power-up likebook fully.
after the likebook has fully powered-up then reinsert 128SD card into likebook and then use likebook format with the option 'for use in likebook and other devices'.
use the likebooks file manager to Make a directory on SD card in lower case letters named 'books'
or try this
power-off likebook
remove the sd card from the likebook
on your PC format the sd card.
Make a directory on SD card in lower case letters named 'books'
copy your pc ebooks to SD card 'books' directory
power-up likebook without sd card
wait till it has finished booting and it is on home screen
then insert SD card into the likebook
wait for likebook to error scan and scan for new books(it only scans inside SD card 'books' directory)
start-up calibre
fully power-up likebook
connect usb cable linking pc to likebook
calibre will raise a pop-up 'Device: likebook T80D detected' and a new 'black coloured icon' named device will appear in the top menu line.
1. place mouse pointer on 'black icon' device and mouse right click.
on new submenu left click on 'configure this device'
if it errors then close error box and wait till calibre notifies you that it is ready(because it is scanning default directories on device)
do line 1. again.
on new window click on 'change scanned folders'
click on 'SD card' tab.
click inside small square box labeled 'books'
a tick appears inside small square box
click on 'ok' box lower right side of this window
click on 'ok' box lower right side of next window
calibre asks you to restart calibre
unplug USB cable
click on 'Restart calibre now' box in this window
once calibre has fully started up plug-in USB cable
and wait for calibre to scan the device for the new default folders(including SD card 'books' directory).
