Not ejecting almost guarantees a corrupt file system. Middleware MTP?

The data partition is formated as fat32, which is non-resilient to this stuff. This partition should use a modern filesystem with journaling, like ext4.
Using ext4 wouldn't allow auto mount on Windows when connected via USB. To cater for that we would indeed have to add a middleware like MTP.

As a temporary workaround we can try to disable USB mounting. This way the USB port could only be used for charging. In order to add new book into the device the user would have to use some microSD card reader.
