In fact, 2-3 days ago I played with these adjustments a lot (to discover its adjustment capabilities which are impressive coming from the Nook) and there was no crash.
So, taking into account the posts above from davidfor and RoGuE_StreaK it seems to be a "feature" of the latest Kobos that they do not play well with some sideloaded EPUBs with locked features.
I don't know if it will make a difference (it probably won't) but I'll try to exchange it this weekend for another one. Hopefully WH Smith won't make an issue of it as I'm not sure I can reproduce the problem at will.
Before the weekend I will try one more thing: I will do a factory reset (later on today) and see if that fixes it.

Have you tried formatting the books that are giving you crashes with Calibre? If the problems disappear after taking away all the book's shortcomings you'll know the problems were because of the book. Otherwise, you'll go through the trouble of exchanging your Glo, only to see the same problems appear on the new Glo...
In case you'd like an example, I attached screen shots of the settings I use to format books.
