(For what it's worth: I've rarely had problems with my Touch. When I have, they are my fault: such as improperly rooting the Touch.)
I'm sort of new, and having many troubles but only since last firmware upgrade on my KoboTouch. Would you or someone mind explaining what 'improperly rooting the Touch' means?

After doing a factory reset, all of my problems were gone, and I have been using my KT (1.9.16 and now 1.9.17) without any problems.
I tried that, it was the first 'fix' I tried. Thank you for the suggestion.

I've actually done it 2 different times now. Still getting database error when making more than 1 change at a time on my KT.

As I've spent so much time trying to read around the forums, I wonder would something like the suggestions in this thread help?

I'm not sure what 'Sqlite database replacement' fixes, it's not really clear to me.

And, I was also having trouble with the clock, but since my last attempt at fixing some of these bugs [or should I say troubleshooting], my clock finally set to the right time, and now it seems to be holding steady. Hooray for small victories!
