I think this was discussed before (many times?)?

And no it's not silly. You lose everything including annotations. A backup database cannot be restored. Basically, you're toast. And yes, i did happen (from what I remember) in a version 4.x firmware.

For all we know it could happen again in a version 5 firmware as it seems to be rather different.
Anything is possible. Maybe we should all stop updating firmware, in case Kobo introduces some bug that would cause a factory reset?
