I'm not sure why it's there, but it is confusing. If you ever accidentally un-mount it, anything that depends on it will become unavailable. To fix, just, turn off the device and restart it. It should automatically re-mount the card.

Now that the book has been "returned" there's still a load of Overdrive stuff on my external card (mostly empty directories), plus there's some TuneIn Internet radio stuff, even though I was never asked where that app should store data. Does the Vox automatically put data on the external card if one is there? If so, and someone wasn't aware of that and erased the card, would they lose apps or saved favourites? It seems like an external card, once installed, becomes a critical part of the system.

In most cases, it will use the internal SD card to store user data, including books. I haven't seen it use the external one as of yet, and I've never seen the option while the external SD card was plugged in.
The external, as you said, is really for user data that you want to import into the device, be it music, video, pictures or sideloaded books. I've used it to put my daughter video's so that she can keep her main device memory free for downloaded content. you shouldn't be able install apps to it, although you can install apps from it.
