Everything was in the AZW3 file. I wouldn't expect anything else since the only image in that book is the cover. I didn't try any image-heavy books.

I don't think the change to the build number actually impacted the UI. I didn't realize at first that the firmware had updated itself to an older version than the one already installed. That resulted in a lot of incompatible data files. Because they do not expect downgrades the firmware does not handle them at all gracefully.

Putting a DO_FACTORY_RESTORE file in /mnt/us and rebooting cleaned it up.
