Epub =?

What class of object is an ebook considered to be? Is it data or media?

Android, in its upgrading wisdom made a hash out of using an external SD card in Marshmallow. It has to be either media or data, it won't work as both.

Mine is media as I take pictures with phone, so it's handy.

Now I've found a couple of epub books that I want on the phone as they fit well into my reference library. I am trying Pocketbook, which is new in Play store. Pocketbook sees the card, but not the books folder, so before I try fudging files, are EPUB, PDF, KEPUB, Amazon's files, data or media?

If I try a search, all I get are definitions about ebook files and types, but no discussion of class which is no help with MM and and EXT SD card.

I'd opt for media as you mostly read for amusement and entertainment.
