I'm still playing with my Hanlin v5 after getting it the other day. I've got a couple of questions.

a) Do I need to turn it off when I'm not using it, or can I just leave on the last page I had open? What is better for the battery?

b) I've got a Powerbook with OS X 10.4. When I connect the Hanlin to the computer via the USB stick, it appears as a mounted drive when I click the OK button on the Hanlin. So far so good. But when I try and disconnect the Hanlin through the OS, it immediately remounts itself. Even clicking extra quickly to eject it doesn't do any good as soon as I tell the software to disconnect it, it reconnects. I have to pull the USB cord out manually. When I do this, I get a warning that my Hanlin could be damaged because I didn't dismount the drive properly. Any ideas?
