A few weeks ago I noticed that I'd sideloaded some books with not-so-correct formatting to my Kobo Aura HD. Okay, no problem ... redid the books with Calibre. Plugged in my Kobo and installed the books again.

Now, when I unplugged the "Updating Database" message froze at 72%. I turned my kobo off/on and all appeared to be fine. Well, not quite ... the book I was reading was one of the updated books and it didn't display the new formatting. So, I deleted the 5 books, connected to Calibre and uploaded again. This time all was just fine.

Since then I've installed other books and the "updating database" message was fine. No problems.

Yesterday, I sideloaded some more books. This time the message halted at 90%. Again, I needed to turn the kobo off/on. And, again, all seems to be okay.

Any idea what's going on? Possible solution?
