Put the storage card in PC (via USB adaptor if no card reader, they are cheap). Use the file manager (explorer) to copy your local folder/directory contents to a folder called books on the card. This WON'T work if the card is encrypted as built-in storage rather than removable portable storage. In that case plug in the tablet with card in it and ONLY have the file manager (Explorer) open (close Calibre, Media players etc) and copy the files.

The issue is Android MTP.
Thanks for the info, I have also read the post from Georgemk (thanks also) I may have deleted the original folder on the device for receiving books in my efforts to send them direct to the card. I have decided now to forego the card. Can I simply create a folder on the android device, call it EBooks, and instruct Calibre to send new books to the Ebook folder

Many thanks
