Thanks davidfor. Here are the answers to those questions below.

Which is exactly what is expected when you sign out of the Kobo account on the device.

That's shouldn't happen. Were the books no longer on shelves sideloaded or from Kobo?

I can only say it is working here. The reading positions are syncing correctly. The shelves seem to be, but I haven't change them much lately for books from Kobo recently, so maybe I haven't noticed.


Checking the date and time is good idea. But, what happens when you try to download a book? If it is just one or two books, try deleting it from the library on the Kobo web-site. This will put it in the trash on the site and the next sync will remove the details of the book from the device. Then, you restore the book from the trash and the next sync should download it. Doing this has fixed a couple of books that had gotten into a weird state.
-Only after I used Kobo desktop to import that book into my account. However, after manually adjusting the date/time, it did work correctly.

-What it did was hang when trying to log out. As a result, upon rebooting it re-processed the entire library on my device, resulting in lost reading position, reading settings, bookmarks, comments etc.

-They were sideloaded.

-I'll keep that in mind. This issue seems to have been driven primarily by the date/time issue, but the automatic reboot after hanging on Kobo logout and its consequences are of concern. That happened to me twice. I'm not gonna try it again tonight to see if the date/time adjustment resolved the problem. I'm just gonna read.
