Being the trusting soul that I am, I have all my Android apps (with a few notable exceptions) set to autoupdate. Got the latest 1.8.2 automatically and that's apparently what caused the rebuild on the Galaxy Nexus, and I'm sure the loss/corruption of the data base on the Nook Color. I don expect it to happen again unless y'all trigger another data base reformat, and hopefully not then :-)

By the way, I think you've remarked that changing the data base & repository location effectively wipes out everything. Since the metadata file is in the same directory with the book files, why does this happen if you move the entire folder including the metadata / data base? I think this implies that something other than a simple pointer to the folder has to be stored externally to the folder?

Thanks.
