The steps I used to make it fail are:
- Reinitialize CC. You can uninstall/reinstall or use the app manager to clear CC's data. The result is the same.
- Ensure that there are books in CC's library folder (normally Calibre_Companion) that scan for new books will find.
- Start CC.
- Update CC's settings to what you want. In particular, add the sync column lookup names. I also set the UUID as file name check box. Ensure that "Scan for new books" is checked (it is by default).
- Connect as a wireless device. Let it finish syncing. The read information in calibre should now be gone for any book that is matched as on-device. It isn't necessary to disconnect to note the data loss.
If you alter step four and not put in the lookup names then the data will not be lost. After your first sync completes you can enter the lookup names without triggering the bug. This is why we haven't seen it to date in the prerelease program, because everyone had a working CC install (I think).
