The epub renderer on the Kobo devices is unforgiving of errors. I would expect that the GrabMyBook addon just wraps the HTML page in the epub structure. Any errors the page code would cause problems when you open it on the device. If you open it in the calibre editor and ran the error check, you should see any errors in the code.

A conversion should produce clean code. It can usually clean the errors up, but if there are unbalanced tags or incorrect nesting of tags, the result might seem wrong.

I'm going to test whether it is because of the number of books. If not, I suppose it will either be because of an update problem, or some kind of hardware malfunction.
Unless you are using a very old firmware version, the number of books is not the problem. I'm running at nearly 4000 books with no problems. And the issues in the older firmware kicked in with a lot more than 400 books.
