Something else: even though I'd used the delete book from the device option, the book didn't delete!
I could see the book when I plugged it into my PC (My Computer). So I deleted it from there and deleted the Calibre version (oh well so much for the parts of the book that I'd highlighted, eh!).
I then freshly installed the book from Sony Reader for PC into Calibre and sideloaded once again onto my Glo. And I know you'll believe this when I tell you that instead of a clean copy showing up I got a copy with 17 bookmarks and two highlights!
What the stuff!
Well, it seems that I'm not going to be successful in reading this book at this point in time, so I'm moving on to something else. What a weird scenario ....
