One of my coworkers who refuses to connect his Kobo directly to his computer -- he swears his Kindle infected his computer with a virus -- so he removes the uSD card and copies files to it using a card reader. His complaint was losing files and scrambled tables of content after replacing some ebooks. The current firmware doesn't have that problem for him so I'm wondering if some of the changes which seem to be rescanning all the ebooks on the external uSD card during power on are due to complaints from people modifying the contents of the uSD card outside of the Kobo ereader.

BTW, as to his virus complaint, most of this gentleman's computer issues are PEBKAC ones.
