If i am touching the books date manually in the reader, after restarting the reader promotes them to the 1st page without any need to touch the media.xml file...
The plugin does that, in fact. The media.xml file update is just synchronizing the cached date with the updated file date. There are some side effects to letting the reader do that instead (if you use the "Author sort for author" option), so I update the cache file to avoid those side effects.

It's interesting that manually "touching" the epub files is working for you, but the programatic "touch" that the plugin is doing is not. I'm not sure why that would be happening. And I'm really confused about how the media.xml file gets reset to the old content.

By the way, I installed PRS+ on my reader and the plugin is working fine so far. I'll keep trying it out to see if it changes, but so far, it looks like there is no conflict.

In any case, I'm not sure what else to try at this point, but I find your latest experiment interesting, so I'll mull that over...
