Maybe it just needed time. There had been a media.xml file that I would try deleting and etc. before. Last night I just let it go and went to sleep finally, and this morning it connects to Calibre fine. I guess it just takes a long time to 'Regenerate" the media.xml file or the database. Sorry about the noob questions!

**EDITED TO ADD: How would I know when the media.xml file has been regenerated? Is it just trial and error, plug it in, turn on calibre, if it errors, rinse and repeat? Is there some way of knowing? It isn't just when there is a media.xml file from what I've noticed.

NOW that it works, I of course want to fiddle with it again. Do you think if time solves this problem, that if I saved things to the device itself instead of using an SD card at all (To save battery life) the reader would be okay? I'd been using SD card because of what it says in the Unicode Font patch first page, but I'm confused now as to whether there is a real issue or whether it just takes time for calibre and the Reader to set itself aright. Or whether that is a totally different issue altogether.
