Why? Almost (I say almost because I don't want to say ALL because it may be that one model in million might be different) all devices have separate memories spaces (which may or not be separate chips) for firmware and content. Your expectations are unrealistic and show that you have no idea of their internal architecture. Surely, and error might occur also in the FW resident zone. Tough luck.

You apparently miss my point, probably because you missed the previous one.
It is not my intention to change a device that I like, just because I'll look like a looser because I don't have iPhone 6. Changing devices and transferring the eBooks (in this case, it may be music or movies) to another device is not an issue. But having to replace a beloved device because it developed Alzheimer
and the user memory is corrupted is something I don't like. If an SD card develops errors, well, down in the trash and put another one. I have a solution to rescue a device.
