Some people on the latest firmware have had no issues at all, but do always close the current ebook before connecting cable and on eject wait for bar progress to end (before unplugging cable) and screen displaying ebooks to flash (database update complete, obvious if filter set to unread as list changes) before reconnecting.

If this were an isolated incident, I'd probably agree that perhaps the storage became corrupted through my doing things in the 'wrong' order when disconnecting the device or some other reason related to my actions.
Maybe.
However, I'm far from alone in seeing this error, repeatedly - and it doesn't seem to be isolated to the Forma, which still suggests a software/firmware issue.
As I said before, my behaviour around using the reader hasn't changed at all in years and switching to a previous firmware version seems, for now, to have resolved the problem. The only thing different about my Forma between it behaving normally and beginning to display the error is the firmware update. That it happened last night without even being plugged in means Calibre and my PC aren't to blame either.
