I would strongly recommend people do not use their reader to store the only copy they have of their books - just as you wouldn't use a MP3 player to store the only copy of your music files. It's simply not reliable enough. Store your books on your PC. Back them up. Organize them using Windows Explorer or specialised software like Calibre and copy them across when you want to update.

Otherwise...
If your readers file system becomes corrupt - all your books are gone.
If your lose your reader - all your books are gone.
If your reader is stolen - all your books are gone.
If your reader breaks - all your books are gone.

I have seen a number of people on these forums saying they are doing this and it worries me! Omk3 - please tell your friend to back up her books!
