This is a good point, like p_a_smith, etc.
It was the ext4 story that made me lean toward the unmounting as the cause in the first place. Certainly ext4 has made programmers who relied on the 5 second flush of ext3 to clean up their act.
But if your Kobo internal flash has not been written to by another computer then it can't be external app like ADE or Calibre or Kobo Desktop causing the file corruption.
