I have checked. Read post 1, 6, 8, 12, 13, 15.

In each of those posts I have checked to see if anthing appears. Nothing has sent to my hard drives at any point.

In each occasion there is only one single instance of the text file, which is fine before I attempt to save to a volume (100% NOT the SD card), however for some reason Calibre does not save to the location on the volume specified, instead it attempts to copy a file on top of itself, resuling in a 0KB txt file.

From the video I made you can clearly see that I'm trying to read the file from the SD card. It's a test file that I made and put onto the SD card prior to starting Calibre. If Calibre reads the text file from the SD card successfully (the file does not exist elsewhere) at the start of the video, and I do not change where Calibre is looking then it cannot be reading it from anywhere else since I've not changed Calibre's view.

I have as I have said, on each occasion checked the volume I sent the file to. Every single time nothing has been there. I've even watched the directory and nothing appears during the process.

The only explanation is that Calibre is overwriting the file, the Calibre devs have confirmed that Calibre will do one read and one write. If the file is erased then the write has to have been to the original location of the file.
