Well, after spending a couple of hours browsing forums and support sites, I found out what was causing all of my issues with the Reader. Turns out that one of the book files was corrupted. It took so much digging because I was describing the specific problem in too great a detail in my search inquiries. To fix the issue was quite simple, sort of… I completely wiped the Reader, uninstalled the software, and deleted all of the sync logs and databases. Then I reinstalled everything, re-downloaded my books, and then re-sync’d it with the reader. Everything works now.
At any rate, I’m happy that I got the thing working. I’ve been enjoying reading several books at once, which is good for my ADD. 
Currently I’m reading the following books:
The Truth About Profitting From Social Networking – By Patrice Anne Rutledge, which I’m reading in order to learn how to maximize my online presence.
Outragious, Contagious Joy – By Ed Young, which I’m reading for a study we’re currently doing at my church.
I also just finished Leadership Above The Line – By Dr. Sarah Sumner, which I read for the sheer joy of learning something new about leadership. I’ll write a short review in another post later.
Overall, I’m glad I got the thing working again. Now I’m finding myself taking it with me on family outings where I might get an opportunity to read a little bit. I also think it will come in handy when I start school next month, since some of the reading materials I’ll have to use are available in e-book format. Man, I love technology… when it works.
