Just one of a number of bugs in the T1.
Could you check if my case is also your case - that those books you jump to, but don't appear as a stand by image and are not displayed in "Continue reading", show no details when you call their "info" page (i.e., the page appears empty)?

I have reformatted my internal & SD memories, and reloaded all my books. Now the covers show as expected, but I still have problems with the "continue reading" bug. Also, my theory that "books with an empty info page do not make it to the continue reading list" still applies - and there are A LOT of books with an empty info page (although most of my ePubs are excelently formed and adhere strictly to the standard).

Also, when some of those "thumbnails with no info" are opened... another book opens!

BTW, and being honest, I am not so sure now of what I said before about the empty "save_as" field as being responsible of all this mess.

I also have a PRS-505, loaded with exactly the same books, and nothing of this happens.

I have the feeling that some of these problems can (?) be Calibre related but I don't want to crosspost - and others might be just T1 bugs (?). In any case it is rendering the device unusable for me.

Update: After manually deleting both "books.db" files (for the main memory and for the SD card) and letting the T1 rebuild them everything seems to work as expected, and apparently all books (or "a random sample") seem to have recovered their "info" page and behave correctly... but this is a PITA.
