Don't forget this is an Aura One, and the firmware is extremely buggy.

Yesterday I actually suffered a hang whilst reading and had to restart the device.

My experience with the Kobo, so far, make me appreciate just how rock solid the Kindle software is.


ETA: 'Something happened to the file system' is also a pretty damning indictment of the software. (The Bookerly disappearance happened between ending one book and immediately starting another, without the device being connected to another computer or wifi being turned on. Files should not just disappear in those circumstances. And a hardware fault in an SSD would be most unlikely to cause such selective errors).
