I suspect rebooting the reader might force it to reset or reread the database.
I am starting to see a pattern with this firmware. My problems seem to occur after I sideload one or more books, then eject the reader. The next time I connect the reader to the computer, I see the prompt to scan the reader for errors. If I let it scan and fix, no errors are reported. However, the reader then displays random weirdness, like not updating my reading position. So I did an experiment: I sideloaded an ebook, then ejected the reader and powered it off, then powered it back on and reconnected it to the computer. No scan prompt! I've done this several times now, and as long as I reboot the reader after sideloading an ebook, I have never yet had a prompt to scan the reader for errors. Also, the reader has not lost track of my reading position either.
Could it be the database is not being updated for sideloaded ebooks? I have also noticed problems when I delete a book, but I haven't yet tracked down the exact circumstances. For example, I don't know if deleting an ebook from the reader while connected to Calibre as opposed to deleting it from the reader while it is not connected to the computer makes any difference.
Anyway, I wonder if turning the reader off and then on again after sideloading books forces it to reread or reset the database. Just a thought.
