Since I had nothing on the reader, I wasn't going to lose anything anyway, so I tried that. It did the trick - I had all of the memory back. It appears that the Kindle doesn't really delete things when you delete them, even if you don't have any access to them!

I wonder if this missing space is being occupied by search indexes that never get deleted in your System Folder?
I currently have 41megs of data in my "/system/Search Indexes" folder in a lot more files than I have books.
