Absolutely no need to rebuy! All you need is the Kobo Touch Extended plugin for Calibre. This will then send the book to your device as a kepub instead of an epub.

Saying "oh use this propietary format instead of the standard that ebooks use and that all ereaders support because if you don't it'll run like shit" is not a proper response.
*shrug* Do whatever you like, there's no point ranting and swearing at me about it, since I'm not Kobo. I'm offering a possible simple workaround. It may also help diagnose your problem.

If you'd like more help, it would be useful for you to create a fresh thread with a more usable report: firmware version, exactly what formats you're reading, where the books came from, whether you've checked them for errors, exactly what is going wrong on which user actions, and what troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
