Relax, deep breaths.

If by "Kobo turns itself off" you mean the screen goes completely black, it's a problem with the lastest forced push update bungle. It looks like a new version number is being pushed out now to get out from under all the corrupt files.

If you're patient, and your Kobo auto-syncs, this might fix itself if you just leave it on tonight. (get it where the booting squares come up, but when the screen goes black, just leave it.). If you're not patient, or that doesn't work, you can force a factory reset: Power off completely, this might be hard to tell with the screen being all black. Connect the kobo to power, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. If going as planned, the indicator led will light up blue, then go to purple, red, and finally, the kobo will start a factory reset. Note that all books will have to be reloaded, and bookmarks will be lost.
