So I am guessing is that when you manually delete a file, the reader software database is unaware & thus claims the book is stlll there - what happens if you say "ok - open the book for me then" - does it then have 2nd thoughts ?
Well when I delete it manually, I'm still able to open the e-book in the Sony software, which doesn't make sense because it should say the file cannot be found. I can open the e-book and all the content of the e-book is there...
