i haven't tried an actual reformatting, don't know if that would work, would rather do that as a last resort

so the H drive is the e-reader device drive ?
I though it was one of your PC drives.
if so you may be unable to repair it via windows & will have to consult user manual for the device or find a hardware forum. you could back up all your books onto PC ( i.e. copy them into calibre ) then try the reformat option , if the device has that option - that should fix it.
PS - no consolation now, but if you'd read the reviews beforehand - you'd probably never have bought it!
Sharper Image Literati e-reader gets a 'don't even bother' review:
"Well, this isn't good. We didn't have the highest of hopes for the Sharper Image's Literati e-reader, a $159 7-incher announced back in August. Well, it's just gotten a review and... it sounds much, much worse than we expected. In fact, the reviewer failed to find one decent attribute of the reader, but does detail its slowness, its unstable and buggy UI, and poor formatting. The Kobo-driven reader has absolutely no annotating options, not even bookmarks, rendering its full keyboard totally useless. The whole thing sounds like a serious mess to us. Hit up the source link to check out the entire, disparaging review."
given that, I'd fix it, sell it, get something better..... still under guarantee ?
