Corrupt memory is the normal reason for losing or not being able to set bookmarks.

Judging from many cases of memory getting corrupted with all safety measures for mounting/unmounting USB drives in place, I'd say Cybook firmware has bugs/instabilities in it which lead to random memory corruption issues.

chkdsk results...
f: drive, two books with file allocation errors, one of these cross-linked.
g: drive, no errors detected.

when one charges the battery via a pc, one gets the option, ofc, to dismount safely; with a connection direct to a charger, one doesn't...

That is because the USB-drive of your PC is able to write things to your ereaders memory, your charger can't do that...

That is correct. But with a charger only the 2 power wires are used. Not the two data lines.

When connected to the computer all four lines are used, data and power.

BTW some people seem to have thes problems a lot. Some, like me, almost never have them. I never use the 'safely disconnect hardware'

So you think that a change in voltage on the USB-port is able to corrupt the memory of the ereader.
I'm no hardware specialist, but when I see how much electronic equipment is being charged by a usb-port nowadays I doubt it.

Aye, but then again...

It's also beyond me to ken why book files should get corrupted and this is enough to cause a potential 'freeze-up' of the cybook (where my PC didn't recognise it [without me kicking it])... these said book files were not related to the books I am currently reading.

The ONLY thing I'm doing to cause me problems, is charging...

I am not going to go into the possibility of 'cross-wires'.

However I have seen the results of high-speed data-links being connected up in-correctly and the catastrophic collapse of a government network...(no it wasn't me, despite the connection being needed by me!!)...(what came in was also re-routed back out to the same originator and hence a massive loop of data transfer)...

eh?

If you'd been following the posts you will see that I do have one - and use it more than the PC link...

I also bought a USB charger. Only use it. To download the books use a adapter USB/SD Card. Particularly I think more practical and believe that protects the cybook.

Can you elaborate? In what way does it "protect" the CyBook?
