I had this same experience with a Web-Braille file and was also surprised, but pleased, needless to say. Your guess sounds correct to me.

Based on Jonothan's advice I decided to rather take my cf card out before switching the unit on. The previous time when I used it, I left the curser within a document on the cf card. However, when I switched the unit on, without the cf card, I was still in the document which I thought was only stored on the card and not returned to the main menu, as I have expected. As I was in the book reader, I decided to experiment on whether I'd be thrown out of the document when I start reading, but I wasn't and it read exactly from where I left off the last time. I went to the top of the document and then to the bottom, to see whether the whole file was there and all 87 pages were. As it's tv schedules for a month, I used the find command to locate the present date without a hitch too. Does that mean that the file is actually copied to somewhere in a buffer on the unit itself as soon as one enters it? If so, it will perhaps be possible to save such file e.g. on one's flash disk, without even having the card on which it is stored in the machine.
