Tried using a Calibre plug in- I mostly avoid Calibre and just transfer the files over using a file manager (Linux). I can try the plug in and see what is up. Is there some limit to cover image space? Because the 2 GB internal storage has always sat around 1.7 GB used and still sits there, and is reduced by the expected amount per book deleted and grown by the expected amount per book added, so there isn't unexplained storage loss that would indicate orphaned image files.
What firmware version are you running? If it is an early version, then you will get that when you hit about 2500 books. And if you have used 1.7GB, then you probably have that many books. This was fixed in version 2.9.0.

It could be that the device is nearly full. It might not be generating cover images to make sure there is enough space for updating the database.

Actually, I'm a bit baffled. That "1.7GB" suddenly struck me as wrong. Looking at my Glo it shows "0.9GB of 1.3GB available". These came with a 2GB card and have two 256MB partitions. With that and and using "computer Kilo", it leaves about 1.3GiB available. Some of these did have 4GB cards, but, that would be 3.2GiB available. Were you just working from memory, or is something else going on?
