How do I fix this? I have tried updating the Metadata file which worked when adding 2 books then back to the same errorr.............................HELP

Looks like your database is broken,

If you have backups of your data you should restore your library from it.

Otherwise you could try rebuilding the database via the <library name>Library maintenance->Restore database tool.
