Having said all that I have heard (second-hand) that some people are getting the error having never touched Calibre.

No, if you read my original post, I'm simply dragging and dropping the files from one explorer window to another, the same way you'd treat *any* other USB flash drive that *never* gets corrupted like the Kobo.
And with all due respect to Kobo on behalf of Calibre users, when the device gets corrupted for any reason, it *IS* in Kobo's scope. What's become apparent is that the Kobo's OS and database are so poorly designed that it's laughable. The device is simply not ready for the open market in this state.
The database and file system should have been designed with redundancy and error recovery like any proper database is. If it senses something's amis, simply restore yourself to the last known good set of database records, and refuse to add the one that's causing the problem - then report to the user that "file xyz cannot be added to the database due to an error" so they get some constructive feedback on what's causing the problem so it can be fixed without requiring a factory reset.
That's simple database programming that anyone learns in 1st year computer class.
Can you imagine if Kobo's main business database got corrupted 2x a week and required their servers to be wiped and factory reset and everything restored by hand??? I'm pretty sure the idiots who programmed that system would be fired the first time that happened...
