Unfortunately I don't remember the details. They were probably left around after abnormal restarts (of which I had a few in the first months I had the PW), or possibly bugs that caused them to remain around when they should have been deleted.

I've never used calibre with my Paperwhite, and only rarely transfer files over the cable, so whatever the problem was it was, it was Amazon's doing.

But you might look through and check. Make sure you set Explorer/Finder to view hidden folders/files.

Thanks, I'll check that out - I've already found a bunch of books I had deleted, but with 2-3 kb left.

Also, I just purchased a Kobo Glo - will compare the 2, but something tells me my PW2 is going to be up for sale shortly!
