If the problems persist with just those few books then I'd really suspect a hardware problem with the device itself.
But if the problems have gone, then I'd try transfering the books via cable, only in small batches of say 100 books at a time, and check after each batch that all the books have been processed and are showing up in the library without problems before starting on the next batch.

I tried doing what you said and transferred 100 books at a time with the cable since I saw that all the books I got via the Kobo store were already downloaded via wifi after the factory reset.
All was fine at first but at the 7th time I transferred books, the processing was stuck at 94% for a long time (earlier books were processed very quickly). I waited it out and then it went to home screen but when I plugged back in the cable, it froze so I did another pinhole reset. Then I tried transferring the 8th batch but as it was doing so, I suddenly got a prompt that the eReader was not ejected properly on my Mac, even if I didn't move it around at all.
Haven't ejected it yet but it's stuck at the connected and charged screen even though my Mac no longer detects the eReader. I checked the books that I transferred during my 7th time and the books were those that I've had months before it started acting up.
