I took a few off (which have large image files in them) and it is fine, now. No more extreme battery drain or freezing.
I personally go over every file with Calibre "Edit book" to make sure it is not full of errors before I put it on my Kobo(s). (I didn't do that with the books mentioned above).

Since you are a Kobo user, wait and see what they produce this fall. I am looking forward to the new 6", hoping it is waterproof and durable. (I also dropped and broke my Kobo Aura, which was in a case...sad day).

Thanks for the info; I've been spending far too much time trying to search for an equivalent system on Kindle. Despite system glitches, I do prefer the Kobo ecosystem and useability in general.
I feel your pain on the Aura, oh man, that was so depressing. There was definitely wailing and gnashing of teeth that day... Here's hoping that the new one is at least a bit more durable, never mind the waterproofing...
I haven't used the "Edit book" feature to look for errors, thanks for bringing that up. I tend to download stuff straight from AO3 or convert my own RTF files in Calibre, so I suppose there could be errors inherent in those files. I also have about 4 pages of shelves/collections, so I was thinking it could be that too, but I have no idea, really.
