I wound up backing up the card, reformatting it, adding all the files to my laptop's copy of calibre, and pushing the books back out to the device. Then I copied all the music files back out.

One thing I learned about the PRS-700 in the process: the USB Mass Storage mode, plus writing to the SD card, takes more energy than it can get from the USB cable. I left the copy going overnight; in the morning, I found that only about 1.5GB of the 3GB of music had made it out, and the battery was dead.
