Pls ask Aldiko to permit moving book storage.

Aldiko says they designed their app to store books on "the sd card" but all too many devices simulate an SD card on internal memory. I have two tablets and four smart phones here that all do this. Aldiko has been promising since 2012 to "consider adding" a feature that would allow YOU to choose where the books would be stored. You can still see the posts in their support FAQ.

I encounter posts everywhere of people trying to do this, even to the point of rooting so they can use a symlink.

I can only assume not enough people have asked Aldiko for this directly.

If you care.... you could try doing it here:

While you're at it.... ask for an option for a simple book list in text with no thumbnails. I've got lots of documents without covers.<G>

Are you aware of the fact that newer Android versions discourage or even do not allow the apps writing to external SD anymore? It is a Google thing not an issue of the app writers.

Obviously Google wants to enforce the usage of cloud solutions.
