Perhaps my question is very obvious, but for me it is an important question.

Hi,
Your question is a very good one indeed. KoBox runs in a chroot jail, which means it is (mostly) hidden the from Koboˋs root filesystem. All lives in /mnt/user when mounted and you can take a look at the shell scripts in /mnt/onboard/.adds/kobox/ and in /mnt/user/kobox.sh (when mounted) to know exactly what it does. I added a commented line (in /mnt/onboard/.adds/kobox/kobox-boot.sh I think, otherwise it'd be in /mnt/user/ when KoBox is running) which allows you to bind-mount your /mnt/onboard partition to the /mnt/user/mnt mountpoint (/mnt in KoBox)
TL;DR yes it is possible. Should you decomment this line? It's your choice. All that you do in KoBox that'd be an erasing operation could potentially touch your books if you aren't careful. But to simply download a book to the /mnt/onboard partition, yeah that's the method I use also
(Though I recommend Falkon instead of Firefox because Firefox has lots of bugs in the package that we currently have that cause it to often crash. Falkon is a very good browser too, desktop-class, you could use it for a full replacement of Chrome on your main computer, it's that good, yes
).
I just don't keep it on every time...
