A fix that worked for me: re: Factory reset

I posted originally that my kobo needed constant Factory resets, one of the post replies fixed my problem I hope it works for you, I pasted his line into the Calibre option instead of what was there. Thank you ubervexed

Select Preferences, then Sending bools to devices

Change Save template from {author_sort}/{title} - {authors} to {author_sort[0]}/{id}

This will ensure that both the directory and filename created on the Touch are innocuous.
