No. Backing up any books. I've got them stashed on the computer and on a USB drive. I'd just shove the whole lot back on the ext. SD card. There is no database except for the books on the SD card and the one book I bought.

If you mean preferences, I have most of them turned off. I usually function with the bare minimum. I'm fighting assumption. I have no quarrel with those who want all the goodies, but the powers that be need to be aware that some of us don't want the extras.

It's the screen that's amiss. It acts like it's out of calibration. The touch isn't even all over.

I did read the intro to Calibre. Too much there if all you want it to do is convert books.
Lets try this again.

There IS a database on the device. It is used by the firmware to display details of all the books on the device. The database is built by scanning the books the first time they are seen on the device. The database is also used to store the book status and what is on the home screen. If the database gets corrupted, the device misbehaves. The behaviour you are describing for the tiles on the home screen are a symptom of this. I've described the fix for this above.

The touch behaviour is another thing. It could be related to the corrupt database. Fixing the database will eliminate that as possibility. It could also be dirt stuck under the bezel. This will block the IR beams and make the touch misbehave. Or it could be a faulty device. If the touch still misbehaves after fixing the database and cleaning under the bezel, then it is probably faulty and you should exchange it.
