Why not /storage/emulated/0/Documents/Books ?

I have {external card}/Movies to store movies in my new tablet and it 
works fine with VLC. I also have {external card}/eBooks, but I need yet 
a reader (Calibre is not available that I can find).

I just installed "Librera" from F-droid. It doesn't see the books in 
that folder, even though it asked for permission to see all files. It sees:

/storage/emulated/0/Android
/storage/emulated/0/Download
/storage/emulated/0/Librera

However, if I browse to:

/storage/emulated/0/eBooks using cX file exprorer, and tap on a book, it 
offers me to upload to "Play Libros" (maybe Play Books?) or use "Librera 
FD", and the later works.

It seems that browsing and opening with CX, apps inherits the permission 
in runtime to open that file.



I don't like storing a multithousand file thing in a card that is 
possibly FAT or eFAT. Too many writes to the FAT area.
