I have a Glowlight 3 and am having many of the problems mentioned in this thread. Even if I do NOT use a shelf, my sideloaded books keep disappearing.
As far as that "error opening book ... this book will be re-downloaded later" message, I got it on a book I PURCHASED from B&N using a PC on the internet. It opened fine in Nook for Windows, and even Nook for Android on a tablet, but I kept getting that error on the Glowlight 3. Syncing the device did not accomplish anything.
I did a chat with support, went thru the usual archiving, unarchiving, rebooting, etc. The only thing that solved it was resetting the device, unregistering the Glowlight, reregistering, etc. After this was all done, the book downloaded properly and I could read it.
So, in other words, you can get this "error opening book" even on purchased books. The solution for me was to reset the device - what a pain!
I have not sideloaded any books again (after the reset and start over). It seems kind of hopeless right now, so I'm just not bothering, reading any sideload books on my Kobo. Kind of a shame. Maybe I could try using Calibre, but if seems obvious that the Nook operating system is at fault (probably not the hardware, IMHO), so until they fix the OS, I think it will be a hit or miss thing. :-(
