Adding /removing a Column, making a change to a TAG that was also USED in that book. Obviously, you triggered a update on 20 Jan (btw there is a button item under maintenance:backup status, that forces a update)
It does not matter WHEN you downloaded a HOG of a comment. It is there until you open the MDE and PRUNE it (or delete the book)

Hi theducks, I am explaining myself extremely poorly, sorry. The books I had to delete and reimport did not have large comments. In fact, once reimported, their OPF file was on average 8KB. I know that at least 5 of the books I had to delete I had on my first Sony eReader back in 2010 and the metadata for those books hasn't been knowingly touched since then. Even if I can't recall making a change to a tag, I guess I must have. I know I didn't add a column because I haven't done that in years. I will keep in mind the maintenance:backup status if this ever happens again.
