It seems that if you do not dismount your Vox with the dismount app within Windows, and then, and only then...tap the USB Disconnect button on the Vox, you can run the risk of library corruption and other nasty events. One of the events listed on the Kobo site, is the loss of books and/or general library corruption on your Vox.

The proper computer/Vox USB connection sequence is as follows:

1. Hook up the USB cable that came with your Vox, by first attaching it to your reader, and then putting the computer end into said computer.
2. Tap the USB connect to start the link to your computer
3. When finished with your Computer/Vox session, first dismount your Vox from your computer, and then press the disconnect USB on the Vox screen.
5. Remove the USB micro cable from your computer's USB port, and then remove same from the Vox USB port.

If you follow this sequence each time, there will be no file corruption upon your Vox.

Cheers!
