I haven't tried loading a PDF because I generally dislike them. However consider that the PDF you're talking about is several times larger than the average ebook, and contains images which generally ereaders pause over.
And no, if your usage is that of 1% of the usage of those using Kobo's you really can not expect the company to code around your usage. It just wont happen.
Should Kobo extend the timeout? Probably. Is it anywhere near the 'omg the sky is falling and it's all Kobo's fault' situation you're trying to make it? Nope. The typical user, those 99% folks, will not see this issue. They wont care if sickle is there because for them it's effectively not there.

And that particular PDF is one that other devices choke on as well, because its a AES256 bit encrypted one. Several readers on my iPad choked on it too - and as I said in that thread, that suggests an issue with the PDF format.
Infant, the only software that read that file for me without problem was Adobe Acrobat or the official reader plugin. All third party apps had real problems with it
