I don't know of any fix other than resetting the database (which is what the factory reset does).
Question: You seem to imply the two books were the same -- I know bad things can happen if your Kindle sees two different ebook files with the same exth 113 (mobi-asin) field. Did you by any chance resend the same book with a slightly modified title metadata. or what? 
Can you still sideload books?
If the problem is only downloading books, then you might just have connectivity issues.
It would also be interesting to know if your Kindle recognizes when books have been purchased (but not sent to that device) and adds them to the Cloud View. |
Thanks for the feedback, people. I THINK I had a problem like this before, but I'm just not sure, and I couldn't find it in a search.
I was hoping that one of the geniuses might have come up with a database repair utility, but... I still haven't given up hope. I need to PM some of my friends in the dev forums.
The book(S) were originally Amazon, but came from my DRMed and mobified Calibre library. I DO change names, but just to trim off extraneous garbage that was added. I can't believe I would trim a part of an actual name, but the evidence suggests otherwise.
The problem downloading was just a fluke; when I got home they downloaded just fine via 3G. (shrugs)
I'll try downloading and side loading again and post my results.
Thanks again.
