Similar thing has now happened to me. There was a forced firmware update last week (1st week of April 2014). Update seem to go OK but reader was behaving oddly - would not power down properly. I did a soft reset only to find all of my books were gone - as if I had don'e a hard reset (which I didn't). In any case, the reader seem to work OK but is does not connect to either Kobo Desktop or Calibre (although windows sees the Kobo 'drive' just like it always did). Tried a hard reset - same result. So, the unit is effectively bricked at this point.
