Yeah, Factory Reset is a risk in this case. I'm the OP. I did it and lost all my books without a way to restore the content. boo hoo hoo. But there is a way to sideload books via wifi and Calibre. Basically you set up Calibre to be a server by pressing one of the "connection" buttons and it turns Calibre into some webserver and you can connect to it using the browser on your Kobo. Calibre will indicate the URL to connect to (basically the IP address of your PC and some port). The rest should be intuitive. But it's slow to load books that way. Better than nothing though.
I've given up on connecting my Kobo Glo to my laptop, although I have not tried the USB hub suggestion since I can't get hold of one. I'm just hoping that it'll miraculously fix itself (i.e. purge itself of gremlins obviously) if I leave it alone for a while...
