The comment about restarting the Kobo was about having a defined starting point. If you don't, you don't truly know what is going on.

I am just copying files, and sometimes updating the database (all in one transaction) when I need to tweak the home screen or update series metadata. I even tried copying a large dummy file, and it seems to happen sooner with many small files.

Restarting the Kobo does nothing, as the usb port stops working even with other usb devices until a reboot.
In this case, I was wondering if restarting the Kobo device between connections to the PC would prevent the problems occurring. If you think the next time you connect this problem is likely to happen, restarting the device first might prevent it.
