I'll check and tell you

In fact, I tested it out yesterday evening, and it does not change.

Basically, Calibre behaved well, exported the epubs and the metadata. I could plug off the device normally from Calibre. After a while, the Kobo started the import, and after a moment, the screen turned to black screen only with a text "Fatal error happened, to recover your device you have to perform a factory reset", with two possibilities either approve or reject, and the two of them triggered a factory reset.

There have been a lot of other performance improvements as well. Nothing as big as that, but generally it fells snappier. And a few of the other changes make me like the updates (series sorting, author list) but, I prefer the older tiled home screen.

Yes, this I saw. Basically, I was interested in exactly the two features you are listening: series sorting and author list. It's why I was interested in the new FW. But I just made tests with the Clara, and it seems that the limit is even lower. Because it collapses at around 20000 epubs. I finished yesterday evening, with a 64bit version, and I faced exactly the same issue as with the 32bit version...
Same error code and same detail message... So it seems, that I'm stucked with my Clara, as I cannot downgrade it to a 3.18 version.
