EDIT:
Oops, I see your concerns were already replied to by a much more authoritative source
Yes it was answered, but I'm afraid the lack of a link to the explanatory thread and the fog of sarcasm made the answer next to useless. I didn't know putting forward an opinion using the conditional "may" would be seen as me speaking for others. And without the link you so kindly provided above, I had no idea about the longevity issues being addressed. Now that I've read the information I can see the point of the filesystem change, and I can see that switching fimrwares should still pose no problem, especially as I store my books on SD. But anyone familiar with the Hanlin V3 clones will know the problems some users have had when reformatting the internal memory.
