As far as I can tell, there is no damage. I almost wonder if the GUI lost connection to the database and couldn't update it anymore.

Did that happen after connecting to the PC? And do you remember if there was a prompt for scanning the disk?
I have seen something similar and when investigating found that the books partition had been mounted read-only. The mount command used after ejecting the device includes an option to mount read-only if there are problems with the filesystem. I think this happened after getting the prompt but not doing a check. But, I'm not sure because I didn't always do anything as soon as I ejected.
Your description of the problem fits with the partition being mounted read-only. Things happened, but, were not stored for later. During the reboot the filesystem was checked and mounted correctly. After that, it all worked. Unfortunately, I don't know what the real trigger for this is, so I can't reproduce it.
