So the only problem with deleting the media.xml is that the reader loses your place in all your books where you were when you do that. See it's like the Sony Library has a copy of the media.xml file or equivalent somewhere and when you sync down it restores this file onto your reader if you have previously synced before switching the fonts. But after you delete it, subsequent syncs don't appear to bring it back. I know this because after the initial sync my media.xml was 5,500+kb, then I deleted it, then it was 354kb after going into one book. After syncing again, it was still 354kb. So maybe the reader overrides the library after the initial sync. I hope anyhow, so that would explain my initial difficulties. It was trying to restore an old media.xml file.

And for what it's worth, I did a complete Internal Memory format before doing any of the flashing at all because I thought that would help my case, but apparently not.
