Thank you so much. I hope my question makes sense, as I am not very technical.
Someone here will help you. Just don't delete any copies of your metadata.db or overwrite any. If your books are still in your library (and they almost certainly are), all you will have to do is put the correct metadata.db back into the library. That will get you most of your books back (any added after the problem occurred probably will need to be added again.) There are several dropbox experts here, and you should be able to recover conflict files.
