my wife's kobo was locking up on opening any sideload book -
it took a soft reset (paperclip to the back) to unfreeze it, and a factory reset to fix it.
after that, no problems unless she lets the battery run out in sleep mode, then a full charge fixes it. she will lose her current bookmark, but that is it. apparently, according to Kovid, the kobo database is extremely prone to corruption if the device is not ejected properly ... XP is notorious for failed delayed writes ... i see it at work all the time.
on the win7 machines at home, no issues with ejecting. win7's usb power management is much better.
