Additionally I use Calibre Companion (CC) to transfer books from calibre to my SD card. Choose location of books in CCs settings. In Moon+ Reader Pro I can set where to store the books in the app. Also in the podcast app I can choose to save podcasts to the SD card. But how this works on Android 7 I have no idea.

Personally I would buy a fast SD card (UAHS1) and follow the advice given previously.
Things changed with Android 6. You can't move an app to an SD card unless you format the card as internal storage.

There are pros and cons to using your card as internal storage, some googling will turn up various articles and forum discussions. I read a bunch of these when I bought an Android 6 phone last year but I no longer have links saved.
