CC, Calibre, Moon+ Reader Pro and Micro SD Card
Okay, bear with me please - I'm a bit of a technotard.
I have a tablet with limited storage capacity so I use an external SD Card to store ebooks sideloaded via usb from my pc's Calibre. Then they get imported into Moon+ reader pro. However, although all the actual epubs are on the sdcard, the covers all end up on the tablet's internal storage and are often as large as the epubs - which clogs up the internal storage and making Moonie use its generic covers (yuk) when the space is full. I'm hoping Calibre Companion might be a better option of managing my library while keeping free space on my internal storage. So I have some questions about Calibre Companion.... Can I still use the external sd card as the default folder/storage? If yes, would it save my internal storage space (as in would it not drag all the covers into the internal storage)? And since I don't have permanent wifi with my tablet - I do a wifi hotspot thingy whenever I need to connect it to the internet... Do I have to delete all the ebooks off my sd card and reload them via wifi or can CC read/import/sideload (whatever the correct term is) from the sd card? Do I have to wifi connect every time I want to load new books on the device or can I still do a USB transfer and get CC to import/read from the extSd? Oh, my tablet is a "generic" Dxtreme D709B and runs android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Thanks in advance for any and all help - it'd be hugely appreciated.

Do note that if you use Moon+ as your reader app (CC is not a reader) then it will create a cached cover for each book you read when you read it. Moon+ apparently does not clean up this cache, so from time to time you would want to clean it up manually. On my test device I simply delete the directory /Books/.MoonReader (the dot is important). |

Chaley, thanks for the quick response. Makes things a little clearer. Looks like even with a bit of faffing around CC might be a good way to go.
