There are 225 pages because quite a few people have requested images and when I send images, I post a Pm(s) sent. message to make it easier for me to know when I last sent images.

PeterT has already explain the reasoning behind sending PMs. I agree that no one wishes for Kobo to get upset with MobileRead and sic their lawyers on us.

As for uploading an image here from everyone? That would be a nightmare for me to manage since quite a few people will not have done a factory reset and then copied the files/directories from the FAT32 partition to a directory on their local storage, formatted the FAT32 partition and copied the files/directories back before creating an image and zipping the image.

I went though the relatively few images I have and followed that process after one person who requested an image was wondering about the size of it and when he used some disk forensic tools, found that books, personal information, etc. had survived the imaging process since the FAT32 partition only has the files deleted without a low level format of the entire partition. This data also added, in several cases, gigabytes to the size of the .zip file. After formatting the FAT32 partition and copying the files back before creating the .zip file, the .zip files are a lot smaller and more consistent in size since 30GB of a repeated byte takes little more space than 3GB of a repeated byte.
