From some other posts in the Calibre section I think this is how it works:

* When you import a book, the meta data you change is stored in Calibre, not back in the original file or even the Calibre copy. If you save the file from Calibre out, the meta data SOMETIMES gets saved to the file. (PDF files have some issues).

* When you send a book to the reader, the meta information goes separate into a catalog for the reader.

I suspect your soft-reset tries to clear corruption by emptying the catalog and the reader then has to decode the file name or meta information inside each ebook to re-build the catalog.

Try deleting the files from the reader and re-sending.

I was thinking of cleaning each ebook, fixing meta information and saving each book to a new directory to standardize the file names and include the meta information with the files. But while Caliber is a fantastic management program, some ebooks are non-standard and this import/update/save to new file may mess up a few (and Caliber would get the blame). So it's not recommended unless you keep the original and Caliber-converted version of the file just in case.
