The Kobo guys were so responsive here early on, but appear to have vanished now. I haven't heard from any of them by email in a while, either.

@CazMar: The failure to sleep was resolved when the device forced a reboot by running out of power.

Now the @#$@#$@ thing has a new issue: nickel is crashing while parsing one of the 97 new books I added (from the Baen Free Library). While I've tweaked /etc/init.d/rcS so that it redirects nickel's output to the sd card where I can easily read its logs, it doesn't appear to actually log anything useful about its progress as it parses the books. It's crashing while reading one of them, but there's no way to know which one beyond doing a binary search (add half, does it crash? if yes, remove half; if no, add half of remainder; repeat) and that's mind-numbingly tedious.

It's truly amazing that it doesn't note down which book it's just started processing, so it can resume after it (and inform the user about the problem) if it crashes while parsing a book. Now, if only the sources were up I could fix that one myself in about 10 minutes... grr.
