I'm not sure Calibre really is sending these titles to the device.

I tried looking at the files in computer disk directories and the corresponding files are empty there too. I tried copying the files from my Calibre library to the device there and that didn't work.

Didn't touch the metadata - no effect, still have the same problem.

This might in fact have something to do with the DRM because a couple titles I tried which apparently do NOT have DRM (public domain I think) work just fine. Though they also do not show anything in the file size on the device menu so I don't know what's up with that.

Removing the DRM might solve the issue, except that I don't know how to do that, and searching the Calibre forums yields nothing except vague comments to the effect that "we're not going to say how to remove the DRM since that is not strictly legal" so without instructions that suggestion really isn't helpful.
DRM will slow things down
The reason you find little to Nothing is FORUM RULES prevent discussion.

Google Apprentice Alf (and take all discussion there or elsewhere)
