Throwing the sd card into the game was a good move, thank you troll05. I didn't do it because the only micro sd card I have is in my camera. But since reading on a Sunday is first priority...
Upon inserting the card the spell was broken. I need to reflash twice (with 2.0.4, as 2.0.3 is not so readily available), and was able to get into the library again, also after having loaded books on the sd card.
We're good again... :-D
Haven't tried removing books again yet, and won't either. I will take a break and try to enjoy my 903 for a while.
Thanks again for helping.
