Cannot say for win, since I used linux/bsd from the very start.

In the case of the kobo however, it's only reading things off the card; All bookmarking is done on the kobo itself so it doesn't write anything to the SD card while in use. If you'd like to test this, after you've copied some books onto your SD card, lock it (the little slider on the side of it). This will prevent being able to write to it, or to erase the contents. It will work fine in the kobo in this state.

However, it is the way operating system sees the file system mounted on
it. After usage, it has to be unmounted. I'm pretty sure embedded linux
has some tweaks and maybe, maybe does not check file system for cor-
ruption. If it does, next time it will try to check it and will complain if it
is read only. I cannot say right now, but I think it should be mounted
explicitly as read only.
