When I connect with a usb cable, it copies /mnt/onboard. When I first connected with KOReader, I remember seeing a suggestion about not using the /mnt/onboard to put my books, so I created a directory called /mnt/calibre and KOReader copies books there. The problem is that I can only put a handful of epubs on before it says "out of space".

I have two questions. First, is there a general consensus for where I should be storing my side-loaded books? Second, how do I tell calibre a different path to use as "main device storage"?

Thanks!

You should be storing your books in /mnt/onboard, as it's the onboard partition that's mounted there (mmbclk0p3). That onboard partition is about 7-8GB and is mounted in a folder so you can access files inside. The root filesystem (mmcblk0p1) is only 256MB in size, and since nothing is mounted in /mnt/calibre, that's why it runs out of space.
