"Content locked..." with Kobo books - questions

Had my Kobo for a few weeks and everything was working great until yesterday when I selected the book I had been reading and I received a content locked message. It's a kobo (kepub) book, so it's not the content locked message about synching with Adobe (I found many references to that particular problem on the web).

I called Kobo and we went through a process of removing the books from "I'm Reading" on the Kobo website, synching, putting them back on...etc. At the time this didn't seem to work (my 11 books still gave me the same message). The user guide worked though.

Later in the day I power on the unit and it works (for no apparent reason)...and it still seems to be working.

So, now my questions:

- anyone know the common causes of this?
- for anyone who has had this issue, do they have a fix that usually works?
- any tips for solving this when you don't have access to PC or wifi (like if I was away for a few days, as I don't want to get caught out)
- lastly, any tips for a back-up plan...I was thinking of putting a 2nd copy of the books on the Kobo via ADE epub versions (I currently have them on my PC for back-up purposes).

THANKS
