Remember my rant about the microSD expansion on the Supernote? It appears that it’s not as limited as I thought.

Yesterday, I was feeling a bit frustrated, as I couldn’t figure out the full potential of a using a microSD card on my Supernote Nomad (A6X2). But today, I stumbled upon something that started to change my perspective.

It turns out the Amazon Kindle app has a hidden gem: the setting that lets you save all your books directly to the expansion card on your phone also exists on the Supernote.

To activate it, simply open the Kindle app, go to ‘More’, and then ‘Settings’. There, you’ll find the option ‘Download to SD Card’.

A checkbox option for downloading new files to an external SD card shows 59.4 GB of free space.

After enabling this setting, I checked the card and found a new Android folder that looked remarkably similar to the one on my phone. That’s interesting to learn.

A digital file directory interface displays a folder labeled Android with a note indicating it contains one item.

Finally, I went to the Supernote storage settings and confirmed that the card was indeed being used. But there’s more!

A settings menu displays storage usage, showing Supernote with 10.05 GB of 32 GB used, and Disk with 22.38 MB of 59.42 GB used.

Now that the books are being stored on the card, I decided it would be worth it to try downloading and check if I could listen to audiobooks. There’s no headphone jack on the Supernote, but it is possible to connect a headset via Bluetooth, and I had to try this. By the way, there’s also an option in the settings to auto-download your audiobooks.

A checkbox is marked next to the option enabling automatic download of Audible companions when the paired book is downloaded.

And the answer is yes, it is possible to listen to audiobooks. That microSD card is starting to look more promising now.
