Everything looks to be in order once I have ejected. The black screen goes away, I get the home screen, etc. I did forget to mention that the device date was stuck on Oct 2nd. I didn't think about it at the time because I seldom pay attention to what day it is...

You don't suppose ejecting from Calibre may be bad voodoo?
Except for an old combination of calibre and the device firmware, I have never had a problem ejecting using calibre. Calibre makes sure there are no device jobs running and then gets the OS to do the eject. It doesn't force the eject, so it should be clean.

The date getting stuck is weird. If the clock is out by too much, syncing to the Kobo server will fail. I could see that also causing a problem updating the database.

Can you have a look in the .kobo directory on the device? Depending on what went wrong, there might be a log that could give a clue of what failed. The file name will look like "stack_nn.log". If there is one, it can be supplied to Kobo to help to solve the problem.
