Unhappy cc and moon+ will not agree on file path names

i have had this issue on other tablets, but it is bugging me now on my new Lenovo yoga tab ( android 7)
CC uses storage/emulated/0..... as part af any path name to books' folders, which is believe is the official correct method
but the moon+ folder browser replaces emulated with a symlink? of sdcard so when I browse to the folder that CC is using- /emulated/0/books , moon+ shows it as /sdcard/books.

both programs disallow typing a folder path, you have to browse from root and accept that offered path names

having two different path names which lead to the same folder causes various problems - leads to duplicate entries in recent books if the same book is opened 1) via CC, 2 via moon+ my files. and to issues with delete: e.g. if I delete a book in CC, moon+ keeps the /sdcard/ reference to it in recent files, though admits that the file is not present when queried

my previous workaround , on my samsung tablet, was to use a real SD card, then both programs would agree on the path to that, but I have no actual sd card in this Lenovo tablet, nor do I really need one as it has 32Gb on board.

is there ANY way to force the 2 programs to agree on a path name to a books folder in internal storage?

PS I have posted here rather than in the very long Moon+ thread elsewhere. rules say I cannot post twice but I am happy for the question to be moved,

I have tried putting the CC folder elsewhere, but any selection gets prefixed with /emulated/0 and that is always changed, in moon+ to /sdcard
