And I did so, and it
did work.
I popped the microSD card from the tablet, put in to an adapted, archived a copy of the Calibre metadata file, then removed it.
I put the card back in the tablet, rebooted it, then connected the tablet to the PC and ran Calibre. Calibre saw the device was connected, and began to create the metadata file from scratch. (It took an hour or so. I did other things.)
Calibre eventually created the metadata file, populated with entries from volumes found on the card, and the Calibre volume list had the expected check marks on volumes in Calibre found on the device. I was able to add more volumes and disconnect. As a double-check, I reconnected later. Calibre scanned the device with no problems, and I was able to transfer more volumes to the device and disconnect.
I recall having had a problem or two previously where Calibre appeared to hand while communicating with the device, and needed to be terminated from Task Manager. It appears that left the Calibre metadata on device in an inconsistent state that gave it heartburn later. Is there a function that can be used to sanity check the Calibre metadata on device?
Meanwhile, things seem back to normal.
