Let me start by saying thanks.
I just got a new Tab2 yesterday with JB running. I bought the T2 specifically for the extSD slot. I travel for loooooong periods to remote locations with no wifi, and I need an alternate means of storing many, many, many books and reference materials .
So: I've been going crazy. I've loaded the following apps onto the T2: MoonReader, Aldiko, FBReader, and Nook. What I was hoping to do was use one of the apps to open (i.e. retrieve) a book off my extSD card--similar to how WindowsMediaPlayer, for example, can open and play a CD I pop into my hard drive. But it isn't working!
My husband rooted his Nook Tablet with CM7 and he said he loads all his books through Calibre onto Aldiko, on the micro SD while it is still in the slot on his laptop, then he takes the micro SD out of his laptop, pops it into his Nook Tablet, then uses a file explorer--I think he said Astro?--to find this Aldiko app and open it to read the books.
That sounds incredibly complicated. There must be a faster method.
I'm like the other other poster who said the bought the T2 specifically to run his 16 gb worth of maps from extSD cards, but the T2 can't do it, the apps on his internal SD will only run maps on the internal SD.
Is there absolutely no way I can carry my books on a microSd that I can just plop into the T2 and open with an internal reader?
