I think it is unlikely an update will fix this. Reset does work to fix it.
You might start thinking about the steps you would need to do to restore after reset, for example, copying the content off would at least save you the trouble of downloading it all after you re-register the Kindle: you can just copy it all back.
Perhaps if Kindle is jail broken, you can just delete the catalog database and leave content in place, and catalog will rebuild (after Sync).
The issue has to do with the library catalog database having a bad entry for the given books. It’s likely you have an issue with more than one of your books, and it doesn’t matter whether you’ve downloaded it or not.
In my case, I knew of 4 out of some 3,400 in my library, but I cannot imagine there were not a number of others I didn’t happen to stumble over.
I was able to use the setup with smartphone feature (using Kindle app) to re-register and set up WiFi in a minute or so. Then depending on how large your library is, it will take awhile to re-build the catalog (an hour or more) and of course re-index whatever content you put on it, which could take hours.
I would apply latest update before all of this (unless you have some reason not to).
