I was afraid of that.

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.
After my post earlier, I was chatting with someone about this, from his comments, I suspected that was were the problem would be. And I'm pretty sure this won't be a problem in the recent firmware. And it is a lot faster. I had to reload all books on my Glo HD on the weekend with 4.10.something. I don't know the exact time as I wasn't watching closely, but the import was less than 30 minutes for 4000 books. With 3.18, I think that would have been a couple of hours. I don't

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.
If you are seeing the error in the first post, that shouldn't have anything to do with the firmware version. That is calibre generating a file on the device from the list of books it has detected. Is it exactly the same error? I can't think of any reason this would be happening at half the number of books.

At the point that error happens, the device should be connected, and the list of books should show in the device list. Sending books should work, but, you will probably see the error after the send finishes.

I would be interested in seeing exactly when this is happening. There is something about when this is happening that is bugging me. Could you run calibre in debug mode and send me the log? Do this by right-clicking on the preferences button and selecting "Restart in debug mode". Calibre will restart with a message about the mode. Connect the device, let the error happen and close calibre. The debug log will be displayed. Post that or put it somewhere and send me a PM with the link to download it. I'll look at it and see if I can think of anything to improve this.
