On the Colorsoft that folder is no longer accessible over MTP, prevent thumbnail changes. I have a concern that this may be the start of a trend for all Kindle devices that use MTP. Making "system" inaccessible would also prevent thumbnail changes on the Scribe, which would be inconvenient for some. But it could also be the beginning of removal of access to other folders.

The ".notebooks" folder holds Scribe notebooks and hand drawn annotations. If Amazon chooses to block access to that folder it will eliminate the possibility of extracting notebooks directly from the device without going through Amazon's server-based mechanism for exporting notebooks.
Is there a way to add cover images to the files that don't have them? Cause I REALLY want to do that.
