Hours of frustration? I haven't had David's utility screw up my Kobo yet but since I tend to a lot of the "let's try this and see what happens" actions, I have done quite a few factory resets. I do a database backup as the first step when using the utility and a database integrity check before disconnecting but that's just my personal paranoia showing. Like most people in IT, the comment that applies best is "I know I'm paranoid, I just don't know if I'm paranoid enough".

With 1700 books, it takes less than a hour to do a factory reset, update firmware, reload all books and series info and be back to reading.

There are times when I am tempted to purchase another Aura to be used for reading but stomp on the temptation since it would simply give me another device to experiment on.

Regards,
David
