I don't exactly follow you. The *.Nebo files *are* the notebooks on the Elipsa, so they are opened and edited on the Elipsa. I took a look inside them, and they are binary files with no discernible text or images.

On my Ghost ebooks thread, somebody suggested I avoid WiFi to prevent the firmware update. I think I will factory reset thru the dev tools to the original firmware and try that to see if the problems I am running into with this firmware happen with the original one, assuming it's different. I'll reimport my .nebo files and let you folks know if they can be reimported into the notebooks app, but first I will remove the screensaver folder and the custom dictionaries to see if they are the source of the corruption.

Update: I don't know why somebody told me this would bypass the upgrade. You only have two choices at setup: WiFi or Kobo desktop app. Both force an update immediately. So I'm missing something. But good news! .nebo files can be reimported into notebooks just by copying them to the root of the device. Curiously, without using WiFi, the desktop app does not install the required handwriting recognition resources. I need to enable WiFi to allow my Elipsa to edit these imported .nebo files or create new notebooks. Once installed, I can continue adding to my imported notebooks. So now we have a way of backing up our notebooks.
