I agree that would be annoying, but at least no data would ever be lost, since presumably, its all still in Calibre. Perhaps the Huns would only bang on your gate and not bust it down completely.

I can't say that none of them do this, but the big ones (Moon Reader, Cool Reader, Aldiko) that I have tried do not. They all create their files in a folder local to themselves.

Do the same rules apply to flash drives plugged into a OTG adapter? If so, you could test that way. In any case, I'm happy to volunteer as soon as Verizon gets around to updating the GN3.
