In case you're interested, I think I know how the database became corrupted.

I had a book on the device that would not open. (I forget the exact error message, but something about a bad file.) I connected my device in Calibre, deleted the bad book, and then copied it again to the device. (Same file.) It was after that (the next time I connected) that I received the database error message.
That shouldn't have caused a problem. Deleting a book from the calibre works, or does whenever I do it. It might be related to whatever caused the book not to open. Or it might have just been some bad luck or timing with the eject.
