Again the procedure to avoid the problem:
- delete books.db
- disconnect the device
- wait until the books.db get regenerated
- reconnect the device
Actually I need to do this each time I want to use calibre. With the drawback that all notes and settings are lost. This is not reliable.

This is not true: the database of the SONY device is not corrupt because I can view it with an sqlite viewing tool and the SONY Reader software has no problem to handle the books.db. So they are no reasons why calibre should not be able to handle it.
The only problem is that the database cleanup fails and here the question is why is this cleanup necessary?
Can we skip it? If this is the case then it make sense not to generate an exception on a cleanup failure.
I will do next week try to generate calibre from the sources and investigate more this issue. I will then put my remarks or patch in this forum.
