I'm not sure if this is a related issue but a couple of days ago I downloaded a free ebook in prc format and the Cybook just refuses to recognise where I left off.

The CyBook boots up into the library at the previous book I was reading. All information concerning the current book is lost!

I use linux ubuntu for 95% of things these days - I'm not sure what the equivalent to chkdsk is... and it's a different filing system anyway.

Update:

I had to resort to going to Windows, right-clicking the drive in Explorer and under the Tools option, chose to repair the disc.

This did the trick but also removed the offending file and several more which were possibly damaged.

The cause for this is almost certainly unplugging the CyBook without properly unmounting it first.

The CyBook, when unmounted in Windows or Linux, still shows "connected" on the screen so it is difficult to know if it is or isn't!

Also, my pc will not boot up if the CyBook is plugged in and switched on...
