As for the PDF being corrupted, I highly doubt it. Copy the "corrupted" PDF of your device and try opening it in adobe reader, it will open. If it does not open, then open a bug report and attach the before and after PDF.
Trying to open them in Adobe Reader is what I was doing. After I noticed the difference in file size, I copied the file back off the device and tried opening it. Reader would give me a message saying there was something wrong with the file.

Unfortunately, it's not doing it with every file, and I didn't keep any samples when I was trying to figure things out. But when I can nail down an example, I'll post a bug report with the before-and-after files.

It seems like it's related to caching in some way. I deleted a PDF from the library, but when I relaunched Calibre and double-clicked the title, the file reappeared but with an updated time-stamp, like it had just been recreated somehow.

It's worth noting that I had no problems at all until after installing v2.0. I was using 1.48 before that and hadn't noticed any similar issues.
