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!
Huh ? !

This implies, to me, that books are downloaded directly to the Opus? - Surely it's like the Gen 3 where the procedure is e-retailer > PC > Gen 3.... hence there will be a copy on the PC - or are you saying the Opus is like the Kindle ?
