I use Sony Xperia M (4.3 JB version). You must root your device and move the application to an external storage because the application stores the E-books in com.google.android. Unfortunately your application won't work if you move that folder without rooting. Did you find this question interesting?

I managed to do this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (Android 4.4.2) with Link2SD Plus, which requires a rooted device. Just press "Link to SD Card" and it should be able to move everything. You need to set up your external storage with the appropriate partitions! Here's how to do that. (Click image to enlarge)

In the Google Play Books Android application, there is an option to keep an ebook on a device if the user wants to do it. So when you decide to do such a thing, the ebook may be stored somewhere on the Android device. I would like to know where the ebook is stored. I searched in /mnt/storage and I only found Aldiko ebooks (in the /mnt/storage/eBooks folder), not the Google Play eBooks. Thanks for your answsers. PS : if it can help, I do this on an Archos G9 101 tablet. google-play-store storage ebooks google-play-books I checked several sources on this. Googles own help page states: The Google Play Books app automatically stores books in the location with the most free space, whether that's your device or your SD card, as of when the app was first launched.
If you've upgraded your app, your books will continue to be stored in the same location they were before the upgrade. Which is not very precise. A discussion on the Archos forum reveals a setting available in the app (Settings> Storage location), but there you can only chose between internal and external storage. But the same thread as well as another one on XDA reveal the path as being /data/data/com.google.android.apps.books/ (which is the apps data directory on internal storage), the Archos forums thread also mentioning Android/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/volumes/, which could apply to the "external storage". As I don't use Google Books, maybe you could check those locations and confirm. Note that accessing /data/data/* requires "root powers". Without that, you probably won't see anything in that place. If you want to add books you downloaded on your computer, the books are stored in: /data/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/accounts/{your google account}/volumes, and when you are inside the "volumes" folder you will see some folders with a name that is some code for that book.
Once you click one of those folders you will see 2 .png files: those are the cover of the book. You can select "enable PDF uploading". This will allow you select all your books and upload to your Google account. That way, you can read from any device by just signing in. And you can select to view offline. This reduces the amount of data needed on your device. Thank you for your interest in this question.

This is a simple question, but in 2 parts: I want my entire ePUB library stored locally on my Android device, so I can use Google Play Books to read them without the need of being connected to my cloud library or any other "online" storage.
Is it possible to configure Google Play Book to save/read the books library in the Android's external SD Card, without the need of storing them in the internal memory? If you know the answer, or any tips about how to configure this scenario, it will be very appreciated. If they're non-DRM epub books, you could use a third party reader. Otherwise, it may depend on what version of Android you're running. Generally you're stuck with whatever options Google offers. With DRM (paid/protected) books you pretty much have to play by their rules as that's what stops people from say sharing books with those who haven't paid for them.Browse other questions tagged storage google-play-books epub or ask your own question.Answer WikiYou want to make default storage of Google Play to an SD card from phone memory?There is an app you can install that will help you easily do this. it works for all android phones. you can download the app from this link>: Make default storage of Google Play to an SD cardOPTION 2:Root your phone and install Link2SD app from Play Store ,Partition your microSD card into two drives of which one is formatted under ext4 filesystem - this will store all of your apps and their data (you'll probably need a Linux distro like Ubuntu or a free to try windows software for this ; hope you have a Ubuntu LiveCD at hand or
are already in dual-boot config) - and the other is formatted as FAT32 or exFAT - to store things like files , photos , music and videos.Set up Link2SD - Make it aware of the drive you've chosen in your card that stores apps by digging into the settings of this app. You can also search for tutorials (there's one on their website) and you're good to go.** Android 5.0 Lollipop - It definitely allows apps to write / store files on microSD card but I don't think it allows moving apps to SD card.*** Android 6.0 Marshmallow - It will allow moving apps to SD card without root , but there's a condition that you will have to use the feature called adopt storage in which the microSD card gets formatted using a Linux filesystem like ext4 instead of FAT32 or exFAT seen in Windows. The downside to this method is that your card gets tied to the phone in which it was formatted for use as adoptable storage means you'll have to backup and format your microSD card as adoptable storage every time you want to use it with a new phone.
Once again I'll have to reiterate this: you haven't specified your phone model and more importantly the version of Android your phone's running on.Secondly , this question is framed incorrectly - you want to move apps downloaded from Play Store to SD card. You don't want to move the Play Store app to microSD card.Anyway , the solution I'm going to propose is universal means it works across all Android versions:Root your phone and install Link2SD app from Play Store ,Partition your microSD card into two drives of which one is formatted under ext4 filesystem - this will store all of your apps and their data (you'll probably need a Linux distro like Ubuntu or a free to try windows software for this ; hope you have a Ubuntu LiveCD at hand or are already in dual-boot config) - and the other is formatted as FAT32 or exFAT - to store things like files , photos , music and videos.Depending on your phone, you may be able to move apps to an SD card. Some smart apps like Kodi use an SD card if present.
