I managed to do that when I put a corrupted Epub on there once (I tried to do some homebrew editing on it after a conversation went awry... obviously I didn't help matters with my "editing!") that froze the KT when I tried to open it.

I "restarted" it with the power slider. I held it to turn it off. It still appeared frozen, but when I slide the power button again it booted up.

At that point it gave me the "You'll need to set up your Kobo to use blah blah blah" thing. I just ignored it, hit cancel, and all my stuff was still there, including my Reading Life stats. Everything's still fine a week later. So... I just pretended I didn't do that, and got rid of the bad book.

In my case I am quite sure this was a result of me putting a borked ebook on there. In your case, since you got it from Kobo... no idea?
