I recently got a Kobo Mini; I have no idea if this is a Mini-only problem or a wider Kobo software issue.

I read a lot of non-ebook files: rtf and html. I've found that if I connect to my computer to edit the files on the Kobo, sometimes they vanish when I disconnect--or at least, they're not visible in the library and when I reconnect, they're gone.

I'm still sorting out what settings do this. Opening HTML files in Microsoft Word seems to mark them for deletion (and yeah, I know how bad MS Word is for HTML; I had reasons). I switched an RTF file to "no widow/orphan control, don't keep lines together" and that killed it.

I've never seen this in an ebook reader before. I've known plenty that wouldn't open some files with code they didn't like, or that would hang on trying to open (Sonys will freeze if you try to open an epub with an image link that goes to the internet instead of an internal images folder), but I've never seen one delete files before. This is very annoying.
