    Perhaps you should read my post again.   I realise that KingPenguin has posted some very helpful information, but this does not help me when I am so far away from my home computer and backup.   I had hoped that all of my iBooks and pdf's that I had stored on my iPhone for reading when on vacation would still be somewhere on my device not on a backup computer 2000 miles away.

    My comments concerning flash storage was perhaps unclear.  I actually meant that I would like to have a removable flash storage slot for a microSD card or similar, hopefully in this way the IOS would not wipe it or erase items from it without checking first, surely this could be possible. Apple's continual push to the use of iCloud is just an annoyance to me.

    Previous posters who have lost valuable work documents must surely be very angry.

    I certainly commiserate with you in your predicament.  It's good practice to update and backup before you go on a trip and your reward was to lose all your content!

    After the bugs in iBooks continuing uncorrected for months, I have switched to Kindle for books and PDF expert for PDF files.  With Kindle, I am certain Amazon will continue to provide support, but Apple seems to have stopped working on iBooks.  Too bad.
