Hi guys, I just bought the Kobo Aura and I only had one sideloaded book on it. I read it up to 40% or so and then I connected the reader to the laptop and copy-pasted some other books (to the root of the reader). I used eject function in Win7 but the books simply wouldn't show up. So I turned off the reader and when I turned it on I was asked again to choose language, type in Wi-Fi password and afterwards my reading stats were gone and the book I read was at 0%. The other books showed up though. I did another power off and this time it was ok, but why did that happen in the first place? Is there some way to automatically back up the stats?

And the second question, the names of the books I sideloaded are not the same as the name of the epub file in Windows. It would seem I cannot rename the books in Aura? How do I do it then?

I will post a little review later.
