Did what it said and it put the reader through something like 'formatting internal format.' I let it do its thing and in less than a minute the ereader looked frickin' NORMAL!!!! OMG. So I of course hooked it back up to the computer and tried to put some books on it. I figured copying and pasting and dragging and dropping were safer than Calibre, so that's what I did and via both processes I got the same error (see screenshot). And I also noticed that the Books folder in the ereader was missing.

But this seems overcome-able, does it not?

What do you guys think I should do next? How to get over the 'read only' objection. (And remember, earlier I got the lock icons on all the files so that was basicallyl the 'read only' thing as well.)

We're close. I can smell victory on this!! LOL

I could've tried Calibre but was chicken. And figured I'd ask if there was something else that needed to be done first.
To the calibre manual we go.
My device is getting mounted read-only in linux, so calibre cannot connect to it?
