4) Start next program (or the same program if the closure was accidental)
5) Plug the Kobo back in and connect

It's a bit cumbersome, but seems to have kept it from needing the resets...
JD - this sounds like good advice. I use the desktop, ADE and calibre. Never at the same time of course, but I couldn't say that I've always ejected the device before swapping apps because I don't think I have. But I will in the future to be safe - and wait a few seconds before unplugging. Thanks
