However, it would be great if the Kobo was smart enough to break itself out of these sorts of freezes, and give a more appropriate error message.

I know but the device advertises much higher capacities.
If you buy a car that advertised 100mph and it could only do 20mph you would be upset. I bought a device that is suppose to support up to 32gb. The way the device processes content I doubt both the internal memory and a 32gb SD could be used at the same time. As you add books the device adds parsed cover images in 3 sizes, and database entries with lots of redundant data. They could have saved a lot of space by using SQL table joins rather than just creating a huge spreadsheet style datafile.
I am much happier now that I have some content on the device and can get back to reading again. But would feel a lot better if I had confidence that the advertised specifications were fact rather than theory.
