Thanks for the explanation, DNSB. I actually did not know this at all (more likely, I missed your previous explanation). This makes sense now. At least this means the user can't "screw up" the non-expose partitions. Me newbie learning time.

To repeat myself, the Kobo ereader only exposes the FAT32 data partition over USB. It is not as if it connected the internal storage directly to the USB connection.
