My books were still there, and my collections, which were all empty. Running it through Calibre restored the books to the shelves.

From now on, I'll side load any updates I have. I'm never going to sync again.
I always backup my database before updating. Then if anything goes wrong I simply copy the saved database back. So far it has been working fine, saving my bacon a couple of times.
