I don't see any card when I remove the back, so why would the settings have provision for "unmounting" the internal SD card before removing it? What would happen if I unmounted the internal card? Would the Vox still work? Also, I've often removed the external Micro SD card to sideload books and never "unmounted". Is that bad? do I really have to? I just assumed you can remove the external card anytime, just like plugging and unplugging something in a USB port on a computer.

As far as I know, you should always use the unmount command for any memory interface. USB, cards, etc. The reason being is that the host unit can still have write buffer data that has not been sent to the unit at the moment you wish to remove it from your system. When you use the unmount or eject command, this information gets written to the files on your portable device and the files are then closed by the host (your laptap, desktop, Vox...etc) By just pulling out your USB devices without unmounting/ejecting them in the past has probably left corruption with your file structure. You only will know about it when the corruption becomes fatal.
