Not really a bug though, more of a let's try to tie them to our ecosystem.

Hmmmm... twice in 3 years. I admit the way I treat my ereaders might be a factor but I've managed to corrupt my database about 8 times in the last year. Some weird items such as having books that are on the device, are readable but Calibre doesn't seem to know where they live. Perhaps, I should start reading more and playing less? Give up multibooting, alternate readers, modifying firmware?
