Just looked that up. Yes, it seems like a possible solution. Thanks.
OTOH, I would dearly love to know what is going on here, because it's quite possibly the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
I should probably add that a couple of days ago, I did manage to make some changes. Got rid of these files, put some new books on. Could read the new books. Everything was fine. Then rebooted, and back to square one. So I don't think it's some kind of "dummy hard drive" phenomenon where I'm not really making any changes. Everything seems to indicate that 118 MB of data (or more likely, a complete disk image) really are being stored elsewhere on the machine and restored to the user area at reboot.
The only thing I can think of is some kind of broken update process, but only if imaging the existing disk is part of that process, which I doubt (why bother?).
So I'd like a working Kindle, but I'd also like to solve the mystery!
