If it's reason for existing is to keep track of where you are in a book, I would prefer it hidden. Where are the firmware updates, in ROM? I still have to think which is which after all these years! When I open the Restore folder there is nothing there. Maybe it is where bookmarks are stored, but since I've yet to read a book that accommodated bookmarking, I don't know.
The Restore_PC folder contains hidden files, these files keep track of the last page you were on when reading - hence you can close a book on page 200 and come back a week later after reading others and it will open up on page 200.

When you update the firmware it is copied from your SD card to the PP, so after updating you can delete the v5setup.bin from your SD card. That file ONLY gets read when you perform a firmware update.
