But yeap, I formatted it anyway and now I have to reload all my books. Does this happen with every update? And can we delete the .bin file after the update?
While it is a good practice to backup files (books) when updating, losing the storage contents is NOT normal. The "Format" message implies that the basic file system was damaged. This can happen if the SD card or Battery was removed while the system was still "closing your library".

You can delete the bin file after update. I have mine on a different SD card from my books, anyway.
