There were 6 of the jpeg photos from the card listed in the Books list, and a bunch of memory MIA, so I figured the database was corrupt. I did a Factory Reset and started over. I won't do that again!
Depending on how many files there are, it might actually have been reading reading as it said, (provided you SD card is fat32 or possibly one of the ext file systems). I've read that some people here have so many files that it takes upwards of 1/2 an hour to get their huge collections to register. As far as I know, the database doesn't get corrupted from SD card sideloads. When you read a book from an SD card and then accidentally pop it out, the book database just goes back to normal, which leads me to suspect it either doesn't use the sqlite database, or it forms a temporary one somewhere else which gets autodeleted after some type of check.
