Thank you to Robko and JSWolf for their replies.

I spent a good many hours trying to find a work-around on this and have found a part solution which, I hope, may help other users with similar problems.

I discovered that if I press the menu icon (in the upper left hand corner of the start-up page) then the menu will open up and allow the user to choose "my articles". This has to be done very, very fast (in less than 2 seconds!!

). If it is not done very fast, the boot loop will begin again.

Once the "my articles" menu opens, the Kobo works normally. The Pocket articles can be read and the Kobo can be connected to a computer. However, if I go back to the "book" menu, it will freeze again and go into loop mode!

After activating the "my articles" menu and by working around through other menus I was able to open other books (not the one I think is "corrupt") without any problem, even though I cannot open the whole of the "my books" menu as this will start up the loop mode again.

So I have managed to get the Kobo Glo HD working again but I cannot continue reading the corrupt book, of which I have already read about a hundred pages without problems.

So now I would like to learn how to make a non-corrupt version of this epub.

I will start another topic on that.

I hope this will help anyone who has this type of problem.

Best wishes to all,
Rojofo.
