Thank you for bringing that tool to my attention, could you verify what filesystem would I mount with this in KOreader?

I'd definitely be open to this if I could still keep LAN connections to manage my files over a network connection with USBnet.

It is probably best to read the entire threads.
Older firmware versions of the Scribe firmware had a bug which deleted notebooks, so I am leery of downgrading. (Unless you know of a guaranteed goldilocks firmware where neither book nor notebook deletion bugs occur).

I am actually one of those [paranoid] people, lol. I personally have been making bi-monthly backups to my PC since I got my Scribe due to the aforementioned notebook deletion bug.

The main reason I wanted to recover these files are for the notes I have created. I have been using my Scribe to markup my various academic files and losing a nearly 2-month chunk of all my notes right before final exam season is a real bummer to say the least. Guess I should have been making weekly backups instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
