I then placed the update_kernel from *this* zipfile http://bookeen.free.fr/bin/CybookGen...nelb708fmt.zip onto the SD card and did a re-flash of the firmware. Now this is Build 708. But unlike the generic one, this build is HUGE (16MB) and does some sort of formatting before installing itself.
That appears to have solved the problem on my Cybook (512MB variant which I received as a "replacement" just two weeks ago).
But I want to make clear that I had been *USING* a 1GB SD card that I had formatted to FAT32. I had also just completed moving 4 ebooks over to the card - with the card in the Cybook - and had done a Safely Remove Hardware prior to disconnecting the Cybook. So this appears to be a very serious bug which can occur despite taking all the precautions we've been discussing here.

Hi Derek, I tried to download the 708fmt.zip file just in case i run into the same problem you had.When I clicked the link, I was denied access. Is there any other way to get this file?
Cheers
