Right, but as I said, Windows sees the reader's drive as empty, without partition. To assign a drive letter, I would have to create a partition and format it. That could be the end of the reader as it could be wiped clean. Most probably only the storage with books is accessible by the computer so it wouldn't affect the reader's system but it's still too risky for my taste. I'd like to find the problem before such drastic measures. :-)

These readers, however, only connect in one mode. I can choose between "charging" (e.g. no connection to the computer), or connection to computer.
