I've also purchased a spare case to use if I do run into problems, assuming I can get the device out without breaking it!
Here are how the buttons work:
  • Pushing the power button briefly puts the device to sleep.
  • Holding the power button down for a few seconds starts a shutdown. This is controlled and saves anything needed. At the end, the device is off and a "powered off" message will be displayed.
  • Holding the power button down for a lot long forces a power off. No saving done and is basically the same as holding the power button down in a PC. At the end, the device is off, but whatever was on the screen before is still there.
  • Pressing the pinhole reset button forces a soft reset of the device. Same as a above, but the device reboots immediately.
  • From off, hold the power button down and tap the bottom corners of the screen will do a factory reset. Everything will be wiped and you will be prompted to set the device up again.

The most recent post that I see (davidfor) states that a bad book conversion is the culprit, in which case I may still have problems if I convert to kepub. Changing the file ending to ".kepub.epub" worked and I can open the book file now.
Not quite. You said that there were problems with the extended driver, but not when you sent the converted books. The extended driver doesn't do a full conversion, it just fiddles with the content. The conversion will rebuild the ToC and OPF. I believe these are what are read when the books are processed by the device. If this is the problem, I would expect sending the epubs through the KoboTouch driver would have the same problem.

Are you renaming the converted books, or the epubs?
