I have done that in the past and may do it again.

I have another stupid question, or two, though.

In my scenario, I plugged the device in, and the database was declared corrupt, I unplugged it, rebooted, and then it came up as OK.

So, was the database corrupted or not?
If it was corrupted, does the device rebuild the database when it reboots?

I very rarely reboot, almost never.

Also, to clarify what I do when detaching the Clara from my PC: I disconnect through Calibre, I also check that it's disconnected from the USB in the system tray. I wait for the device to turn the screen on, fully lit, and then go through the process of importing and back to the home screen, again fully lit - ONLY THEN do I unplug it.

If that method corrupts the database, well, then I guess I'm screwed because I can't think of anything else I could possibly do.
