The problem still bugs me. I did found this thread discussing the exact problem I did have.
To summarize:
  1. removing books.db lets the PRS-T3 recreate it (I did not test T1/T2)
  2. in books.db the field mime_type is now filled with "application/epub+zip" for every book (but all past annotations, etc., are now lost)
  3. you can now make annotations for all present books and see them (for the current book and for all books)
  4. adding books manually (via windows: creating sub-dir, copy file) provides similar results
  5. but adding books via calibre (USB) results in a books.db afterwards in which field mime-type is empty for all the newely added books, so inspecting the made annotations (at least on the PRS-T2/T3, the T1 does not seems to mind it) result in a crash: "Sorry! The application Reader has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close."
I tried several PRS-T1 driver settings/unsettings, old book files / newly edited book files, but nothing seems to work. But it had worked in the past up to april 18, 2014, as the books.db revealed on both my PRS-T1 & T2.

Go figure
