The Likebook Mars icon was the same either way.
Just wanted to let you know what I experienced after formatting the the sd card back to portable storage.....
I formatted the SD card back to external storage, now shows as "Portable Storage" on the Android settings.
Just experimenting, I set "Home" folder in KOReader to be the Books folder on the external sd card. Then I decided to switch the "Home" folder back to the Books folder in internal storage. For some reason I could not navigate back to internal storage folder in KOReader. It kept showing "Current folder not readable. Some content may not be shown." So, I uninstalled KOReader completely and removed the /koreader folder to install fresh copy of KOReader. I installed the nightly koreader-android-arm-v2021.06-40-g16ab5aa1_2021-07-15.apk (instead of the June release).
I set "Home" to the Books folder in internal storage and I put a few books on the device. I use Calibre to transfer books. When I tapped the "+" sign in the top right of the screen to use the "Extract and cache book information" menu item (I always use this after I put new books on the device), I noticed *now* there is in that same menu the "Switch to SDCard" menu item! That menu item was not there before! I proceeded to put a few books on the Books folder on the external SD card. I used the menu item "Switch to SDCard", and selected a book to open. KOReader works perfectly fine with books on external SD card. Progress Sync works as well; I do have the Document Matching Method set to use Filename rather than Binary. But, the page number, percent read, or status (such as "Finished") are still not displaying.
I'm pretty sure that on my phone and tablet, the sd cards are formatted as external, and not internal.
On the phone and tablet, I have the June 2021 KOReader release installed, and on the Mars, the July 15 nightly.
All 3 devices show the "Switch to SDcard" menu item in KOReader.
For books on the external sd card on both the phone and tablet, the page number, percent read, or status (such as "Finished") displays. For books on the external sd card on the Mars, these do not display.
For now, I'm just going to use internal storage for books in KOReader instead of the sd card.
I appreciate your help this week! Thanks so much pazos!
