I solved my problem. Maybe this will help others.
First, what I did not cause the problem was that I had moved the folder that contained pdf-ed books so that the ebook Library was troubled. I noticed this and deleted the settings of the books in the Library and then re-loaded them without syncing. Then when I synced with my Sony, problems immediately developed.
Second, the symptoms were: 1) power switch would not work; 2) got the "error" message when trying to sync; 3) the book folder on my Sony could not be deleted manually since it was corrupted.
Third, my solution was ultimately to "Format Internal Memory" and start over. I had uninstalled/reinstalled the ebook Library, but it is not working as well as calibre. So I re-loaded my books via calibre and am once again everything is back to normal.
