As to the cause, I've never had proof that the driver can cause a corruption of the database. Usually, it is something else such as not ejecting the device properly. I've also seen corruption after a crash of the device, or a freeze followed by pressing the reset button to restart the device.
The last time I connected it (early today) it didn't generate an error message. It just look nearly 20 minutes to display the list of books on the device. If it happens again I'll factory reset again. I just wish I knew what caused it.
