  • Does any model ereader still use UMS? That's where the reader is locked out when attached to USB.
  • When corruption occurs do you lose contact with content on your device or only last reading position / reading history?
  • Can't you just press a button, "Find my content"?
By its very nature, file system corruption can cause anything from a dead device to a missing file/folder to nothing visible.

Corruption will only happen if the device is disconnected before changes to the file system have been completely written to the device.
