Presumably not intentionally.

You came and asked for advice. Feel free to get the tablet to accept the format that the computer uses (NTFS if Windows) and rebuild the library when it's broken.

You can have any arbitrary structure and any Filestystem (exFat, Fat32 etc) on an SD Card that Calibre saves/sends/exports to. Calibre's own file names and directory structure can't be changed and must be using the OS's NATIVE format, not a compatible format. Calibre's files can't be edited or deleted except by the Calibre program.


You do also make backups?

Edit:

Also SD cards are much less reliable than SSD or HDD and fail without warning. I don't have anything on any SD card that's not on my computer. Any extra content is backed up to a named directory (folder) for that gadget.

Now I'm backing up the computer.
