I have tried numerous things to try and fix both using calibre and not and yesterday resorted to manually dragging the original vanilla epubs using my windows work PC. I have also factory reset several times.
I now have the strangest issue which is that any files I transfer now using my mac either using finder or calibre do not display on the device, they are on there they just do not show up on the reader. If I navigate using finder all the files are there but have a file type of Unix for some reason.
Any ideas appreciated.

No doubt more comments will follow, but did this happen with a specific book? On two occasions months apart I had a lot of grief with a single epub book (one from the MR library, one bought). I solved the problem by getting rid of the book(s) and rebuilding the database (which you do by logging out and in again on the device) - this will lose you any bookmarks and annotations that you may have on your books, though. I would sync the device first, so that at least you can retrieve this info by doing a sync afterwards.
Of course, do wait for more comments before doing anything (at least, I hate losing my notes), in case there are any less drastic solutions proposed.
