Are you sure? I thought all sideloaded books would stay on the device but the database would be rebuilt (indeed losing stats)... If you're correct then indeed I might as well do a factory reset.

Ahh very interesting! The "Signing out, please wait" is indeed taking quite a while before the device restarts... But, I have 3.17.3, not 3.17.0... hmmm

Yes I'm hoping to hear from him indeed
Unfortunately all the backups I have are either from too long ago or already have corrupted database

I was afraid someone might dare say that
Hmm read-only... also an interesting thought. As far as I can see from my Mac OS X terminal, the .sqlite permissions appear to be read/write/executable...

Is the only difference then the ID format and the extra properties? I'll go back and check the books that aren't showing any cover, see if those are indeed the difference with the books that are
Thank you both for your input!
