LOL!
Well, yes, that's as may be but I'm comparing to the Kindles I've used for years that just worked. Every time, every book, with no problems whatsoever.
Just because something's not particularly buggy compared to something (a previous Kobo) that's quite buggy itself doesn't mean it's not extremely buggy.

You didn't say when you lost the files or what happened immediately before.

Actually, I did (post #741). At least as far as the font files were concerned. (It turns out they have not disappeared. The Kobo just refuses to use the standard font, insisting on using the bold.)

If you had connected to PC and were not careful to eject,

Definitely not!

of if you forced a restart, then the file system could be dirty and if a scan was triggered, files might not be recovered.

The Kobo software knows if the file system is in a stable state. If it processes a shut down request when the file system is unstable, then that is a bug. Even Windows gets that right!

Also, you haven't mentioned if you patch the firmware, use KSM or any of the other hacks. If you do, they might be the culprit. And if you are adding your own dictionaries...

None of the above.
Sorry to harp on about it, but I'm used to the Kindle that just works straight out of the box. No patching or kludging required.
