What about showing an error message for making the user aware of that
problem? Alternatively your app could also listen to ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED
broadcasts. As soon as the external storage is available your app could
perform pending write operations (or copy over files you temporarily stored

Thank you again, Mark.
You say that No device that legitimately has the Google Play Store on
it will ship
with less than 1GB of external storage -- it's a requirement.
This is getting interesting.

Good question.
WIth an SDcard inserted, I tried to download a free ebook. That went

This time I was informed (by the built in web browser)

Sorry. I could have been a little clearer here. Yes, when the SDcard
was inserted in the device, the downloaded file was saved on the
