I can't reproduce this. Last night I created a shelf with 334 books on it. The WiFi sync just now went OK. So, I created a shelf for each of the series in the library. That gave me about 40 shelves with up to 15 books on them plus the 334 book shelf. WiFi sync went OK. So, for all the books that have series, I added them to another shelf. That gave me a shelf with 334 books, a shelf with about 120 books and about 40 shelves with between 1 and 15 books. Again, the WiFi sync was OK. It did seem to be a lot slower.
When it hung for you, did you notice what phase it was in? With the extra shelves, the "Checking for updates" phase is taking a lot longer. Actually, I just tried again, and it timed out. While it was waiting, I knew it hadn't hung because when I pressed the clock icon, it showed the time.
Just so I know, what firmware version are you using?
I wish I could get my wife to do the same. Usually all I hear is "It doesn't work".

According to my device information, I'm using 2.0.0. Now, the reason I like to update by wifi is because I have a separate problem I still haven't been able to solve. This is my second Kobo touch; the first one had the same problem, Tech Support and I couldn't figure it out, they had me send back my first one and sent me this one and lo and behold--same problem.
Basically, every time I connect to my PC and Kobo Desktop is running, after about a minute or so (usually no more than two), the device tab grays out, I get a "Device Write Failed" Windows message, and if I open the Kobo folder from the "My Computer" folder, it's blank. This ONLY happens with Kobo Desktop. So, I can't update that way--but now it appears I can't update via wifi, either.
But back to the problem at hand--more data for you.
I have 30 shelves in total (I'm an admin assistant and an obsessive organiser).
The breakdown looks like this (books per shelf):
35

The update managed to download some new books I purchased from the Kobo store the other day (apparently they were "first in line"), but then froze right afterward, and it always seems to be on the "Checking for Updates" section.
I may eliminate some of the smaller-number shelves and see if this makes a difference.
Edit: Okay, I got rid of the smaller-number-of-books shelves, and the sync did indeed complete. So, maybe 5 pages of shelves was just too many for it to handle? Anyway, something for the devs to chew on, anyway...
