this happened to me today!

i stopped using Library and do direct transfer from explorer to the SD card a few weeks ago.

today, i loaded about 300mb of mp3 and photos to the SD card via the Connect Software. upon disconnecting from the USB cable, all bookmarks and history are gone!

my first instinct was that maybe the internal store was running out of space and truncated or corrupted the xml file. upon examination, the internal store had 31MB free and SD card had 1.3GB free.

so i thumbed through the books, made a few bookmarks, returned to the home screen, turned the reader off and did a paperclip reboot. something strange happend. upon rebooting, all the new bookmarks and history are gone again. (strangely enough all subsequent resets retained the data).

this sounds like buggy software, perhaps, it is a good idea to reboot
the system every week or so?
