They didn't replace all of them. Instead some were duplicated. I have no idea why.
I did check the file names of some of the duplicates in Windows Explorer and I couldn't see any differences, which is strange because Windows shouldn't allow duplicate file names, but I guess the Nook does. Of course it's possible there were invisible characters or maybe some had 8 bit characters and others had 16 bit. I didn't try a hex dump of titles.
Anyway, I deleted all the books on my Nook and then copied them all in again from Dropbox. Then I ejected by right clicking on the Nook in Windows Exploerer and clicking Eject. It did eject and Windows said I could safely remove it when I pulled the cable the Nook popped up an error message. It said some service, whose name I can't recall and which wasn't familiar to me, had stopped. I tapped the OK button and it went away and came right back. I kept tapping and it kept coming back. I then tried turning the Nook off and it brought up the dialog asking if I wanted to power down or reboot and the service stopped dialog came up on top of that. I wasn't able to turn it off.
I hit the home button and that seems to have fixed it. It brought me to the home screen and everything seemed normal. To be safe I did reboot it.
Anyway it seems they still have a few bugs.

Am I being like Wolf if I suggest you could avoid all that by using Calibre?
