That, right there.
I had a similar issue when I upgraded my firmware and had to do a factory reset (which does make me think Kobo doesn't handle firmware updates very well). But since I manage my books with Calibre, I plugged it in and it updated my metadata (took a lot longer than usual) and all my collections were back.
All told, it took me an hour, hour and a half to factory reset, update the firmware, patch the new firmware to my satisfaction and then get Calibre to whip my library back in to the shape it was.
