Well, last night the device upgraded again to the new 2.0.0 and now I can't read any sideloaded content. Attempting to open a book results in the device rebooting.
Sigh. I'm going to have to experiment to see if this happens with all sideloaded content, or just content that's already on the device. I really don't want to have to go through loading everything again, but it looks like I might have to.
Edited to add:
Well, I added a new book via Calibre and it looks like the problem is will all sideloaded content, not just content that was already on the device. I'm getting the shakes just thinking about being without my ereader, so it looks like I'm back to my Kobo Original (since I doubt my daughters will give up their WiFi models) until all this is sorted out.

I also had the same problem whether updated manually via the zip file or through the desktop. The solution I found was to factory reset and take out any SD card so no books are on the kobo then plugin the kobo and upgrade to 2.0 . Once done with insert your SD card to have books added on to the library, or add manually back on to internal memory. It seems 2.0 is not great with upgrading side loaded ebpub libraries and works best generating a new library from fresh.
A word of warning to all about side loaded epubs and shelves, menu navigation was fine until I created 6 new shelves with 20-80 side loaded epubs in each. This caused menu navigation to massively slow down e.g hitting the home button when reading an epub takes about 2 minutes to take me to the home screen, ouch! Similarly browsing shelves is also very sluggish...almost as if multiple shelves with lots of (specifically side loaded?) content is hogging memory resource or CPU cycles. Navigation whilst reading a book is 'fine' observing just the already reported slightly slower page turns on side loaded epubs.
