I agree, but that appears to be the case. I am unsure how the corruption occurred, but given the location of the damaged sub-directory I suspect something happened while the PW4 was in the process of downloading a book from Amazon that left things corrupted in a way that Amazon did not anticipate.

Perhaps I did a restart of the PW4, which I do when the cover mode stops working and it was at just the absolute wrong time.
