OK, it doesn't matter when the PDF was added to the device.

That light thing does happen the way you say each time, so it probably is sickel.

I can't find anything like a log in .kobo, though. The only things in there are folders labeled certificates, dict, guide, kepub and Kobo (and no log files inside them either), as well as the affiliate.conf, BookReader.sqlite, device.salt.conf, KoboReader.sqlite and version files. Is there a specific directory where these log files would exist? I am open to pulling out the card and looking at rootfs if needed (I have access to a Linux machine too, although I just checked and /var/log is empty).
The stack log will be in the .kobo directory and will have a name like "stack_01.log". If there are multiples, the number gets incremented.

That said, my 64GB card is close to being full and my device database is just over 1GB.
How much space is left? There are several entries added or updated in the database whenever you open a book. If there isn't enough space to write the updates to the database properly, I'm sure some bad things will happen. Of course, these entries are also made for other book types, so if that was the cause, it should happen for the other books as well.

It could be that it just takes longer for pdfs to load now, but it can't finish before sickel kills it. Should I risk disabling sickel using one of the mods that were posted here a while back to see if that works?
Looking at the file in the mod I think they should still be OK. I don't think it will be very dangerous. The problem with disabling sickel is knowing when to give up and do a reset. Hopefully you will get to see how long it actually does take to open the PDFs.

Is there anything common about the PDFs? Such as all images or use an unusual font. Any chance of seeing one of the PDFs? Or trying a PDF that we can download easily? Maybe one from the library here as that will be available to everyone.
