Aaaah yeah, I was using the one in the task bar in the bottom right. I was assuming both would call the same method to eject. Good catch. The one through the actual file explorer, right next to the other disks, does work perfectly fine.
But I just pushed a new ebook to the ereader to trigger the optimization step again to see what happens, and it looks like everything is still fine! One or two are set to unread, but everything that was in progress still is in progress I think.
So looks like what worked for me at least was replacing the sqlite db and pushing the books during the same connected session:
- Factory reset (Device is empty except for default files)
- Remove/rename the old sqlite files
- Copy the backed up sqlite files to the device
- Open Calibre
- Send books to device
- Eject device
Thanks both of you for the support and advice!
