Has anyone had a problem with Kobo rebooting itself when opening side-loaded epubs?

Pretty much all my epubs are ones which have been converted via Calibre from either DRM-stripped mobis or text files. Anyway I discovered last night that when I try to open one it reboots itself. This seemed to be happening with just one book in the previous version of 2.0.0 but maybe I just didn't test enough other ones. In that case I did an epub-> epub conversion and that allowed me to read it but I'm not happy with that as a fix.

I'll probably go back to 1.9.17 despite preferring 2.0's features and look and feel generally. Which is a shame.
