Jerome, Three Men on the Bummel) where I replaced the cover image, redid the chapter breaks, changed the image alignment and generated a TOC caused a crash where I had to do a restore to get my KT working again. Admittedly, I did this out of curiosity as to what a fairly major change in a book would do so was expecting a crash and burn but not the extent to which it happened.
Yes, I found that with the 2.0.0 firmware. I played around with this for a while and could not work out how the KT was deciding the file had changed. There are some entries in the database for each book, but they don't seem to record anything that could be used. And fiddling with them didn't trigger the delete. In any case, 2.0.2 fixed this and I am using it with no problems.

The more major changes problem was at least partly there with 1.9.17. I managed to crash the KT a few times when I edited the book I was reading. In each case I changed the file structure. I was able to just had to delete the book and then load it again. I haven't tried this with 2.0.2, but I have reloaded books that have had extra chapters added. These were downloaded books that I am reading as the they are written. 2.0.2 handles these OK, but the extra chapters don't get added to the database. That means you can't navigate to them except by continuing on from the last chapter. I do have a way to add them to the database without losing my place.
