Moving Kindle books to micro-SD card on Samsung Tab A (Android) Tablet
I recently purchased a Samsung Tab A tablet to use primarily as an e-reader. I want to use the Kindle app to read ebooks that I've sideloaded. I don't have enough room on the internal Tab A storage, so I purchased a micro-SD card and want to put the books on there.
However, I am not sure how to have the Kindle app access a folder on my micro-SD card--is this possible? Most of my books are in azw3 format, and I saved them to a folder on my micro-SD card. My original plan was to use the FBReader app. I've used this app on my phone for years and like it a lot. But I am noticing that it often does not render the format of azw3 ebooks properly. If I were to change them to epub it would do better--but even then the formatting isn't as good as with the Kindle app. Plus, I like various features on the Kindle app better. But to use it, I need to be able to have it access books on my micro-SD card... |

ETA: Unlike eink Kindles the app does not do folders either (just tried to double check). So books that you plan on reading next need to be in internal_storage/kindle Last edited by DuckieTigger; 07-14-2018 at 11:35 AM. |

Thanks. That's disappointing, but it is what it is. I've been coping books from the sd card to to Kindle folder in internal memory on a piecemeal basis already, and it kind of sucks.
I guess I'll just use calibre to reformat all my azw3 files to epub and start using FBReader (or some other ebook reader app). |
