-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.  |
As I said, the signout sounds like it is working correctly. When you do the signout, the database on the device is replaced with an empty one and the device is restarted. Then you are taken through the setup process. After that, all the sideloaded books have to be processed into the database and hence the library. This means that the reading status and collections for sideloaded books is lost. The configuration file is also reset during this process.
For the collections, unless you are using calibre, there is no easy way to get them back for sideloaded books.
