Thanks for the info. I will re-look at my Paperwhite and check if some of the sdr directories were indeed deleted automatically as I said they were. I guess I could possibly be wrong about that. I just looked at the quantity of them, balanced that against the quantity of books I thought I had read on my Paperwhite, and come to the conclusion that some of them had been cleared out (although I have never cleared them out manually myself). Possibly Calibre clears these out for you when you delete a book from the device via the Calibre interface?

Or maybe I am just flat out wrong in my earlier statement that some of these sdr directories had been cleaned out. I will look closely the next time I plug the Paperwhite into my computer.
