Why won't Samsung Galaxy Tab A allow me to read ebooks from the micro sd card???

[Android Central Question]

I just bought a new Samsung tablet A and it will NOT let any of the ebook readers I've downloaded read from my external micro sd card. It wants to import them to the tablet. I have hundreds of ebooks and I don't want them IMPORTED to my tablet. I like to keep them on an external sd card and it doesn't use the memory from the tablet.

check its permissions
Settings>apps>select the reader> permission and allow the sdcard permission.
maybe it's the problem.
