And even if you have an image, I do not know of a way to restore one to the Libra H2O, Elipsa or any other device that does not have an internal SD card.

This is a topic that has been discussed a few times. People have transferred the books and the database, or parts of the database from one device to another. I have made suggestions about what I thought was needed to be done, and some people have stated what they actually did. Those discussions should be findable. But, it is done by copying files, not by using images.
Hey David, thank you so much for the clarification. That clears up a lot of fog already, actually. The only thing for me, at this point, would be understanding how to correctly transfer those files, and what can be transferred and what, instead, cannot.

Am I right to assume that only books and annotations can be transferred, but settings, read stats and MyWords cannot?

I did spend a considerable amount of time looking for this information, and oddly enough, although I am sure the subject has been discussed other times before, I could not find anything that could help me. Internet is becoming a very crowded place, I suppose...
