After a little experimentation, I have a hunch the key to this device is patience. You see how it lags going from one screen to another, or when turning pages with the buttons.
I wonder, when my PC tells me that the NOOK has been ejected safely, if it isn't still working on transferring files. The last couple of times I let the cable stay connected for a few minutes after ejecting, and things have gone a bit better.
Also, I have noticed some books display their thumbnail cover, only to have it disappear after side-loading other books, then seeing it again later. So the thumbnail created by the NOOK exists, the device just isn't always displaying it when it should.
It does seem that those thumbnail images stay put after they've been on the device a while; it's the newly side-loaded files that behave the worst. So again, patience.
I've don't think I'll add any more books to the device for a while; maybe I'll try the shelves again. I really think it was additional downloading that wiped them out.
