If Linux, ext4. If calibre for Apple, then whatever that Apple is using.

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.

What? Why would Calibre care about being in on a drive with some sort of "native" file format? exFat works fine for both devices and if Calibre has some random problem with that, then it's indicative of more serious flaws with Calibre

I don't think you've understood anything much or you wouldn't be still arguing it will work and be fine. It's not absolutely impossible, but reckless.

You haven't actually said anything compelling. You've bragged about how big your library is, said some weird things about file systems, and insisted it can't be done, but that's about it.
Yes. I came to this forum to ask for advice in setting up something that
should be pretty basic. It's unfortunate that you seem more interested in bragging about the side of your library, but there you have it.
