Yes, I think you are right. I just had the problem again this morning, without using Calibre at all. But the problem is just so random. The ereader seems fine for a while, but then, without warning, it corrupts, even if I haven't added or deleted any books--just looking at the file system is enough to corrupt it sometimes. It's very frustrating. And I had zero problems with this before I factory reset it. I may try the manual factory reset to see if that makes any difference.
