in any case, all that was to say, don't worry about the un-mount for the internal SD card as you can't remove the card  |
Thanks for explaining the internal card. As you say, it's not accessible without removing the circuit board, which makes me wonder why un-mounting it would be available in the user settings. If I chose to un-mount it, would anything stop working, or does it just ensure that anything being written to it gets completed?
Another question:
Since the Vox does not ship with an external card, I assume it's optional for extra storage and side-loading books and many users would never even use one. I got one so I could side-load some free eBooks I found. When I installed Overdrive and used it to borrow a library book, I chose to download it to the external micro sd card. Now that the book has been "returned" there's still a load of Overdrive stuff on my external card (mostly empty directories), plus there's some TuneIn Internet radio stuff, even though I was never asked where that app should store data. Does the Vox automatically put data on the external card if one is there? If so, and someone wasn't aware of that and erased the card, would they lose apps or saved favourites? It seems like an external card, once installed, becomes a critical part of the system.
