Are you there, Kobo? Are we ever going to get a firmware update? (Sorry to overdo the smileys.)
The loading problems almost never seem to be with an actual book that one bought either from Kobo, or from another actual retailer and then converted to ePUB, removed drm etc. It is almost always with an ePUB someone created out of something else or downloaded as part of those unbelievable collections of hundreds of books from various sources.

Kobo seems to handle properly formatted ePUB standards compliant books just fine.

Over the past two years, approximately 300 books have successfully made it onto my Kobo without problem. One book did not--and that was a public domain book that I thought might be an issue because its file size was unbelievably large. I was right. I removed the book and all was well.
