If the desktop could do it, then there is no reason the Kobo itself could not do it. The code would be essentially the same. (although it would be nice to offload as much of the "moment" of "processing content" as possible onto a more powerful device). However, let us suppose it is just too darn hard to do this. Then at least the Kobo should leave behind some information saying what file it was working on before it hung or crashed. It could save a list of its planned order of checking files and which files it had checked. This file could be examined upon recovery so one knows where the error lies, and which files can be added safely. This does not require them to figure out how to do a "quality check" correctly and can be very easily added.
