3) Closed the cover to put the Kobo Aura One LE to sleep.
4) Days later, picked up the Kobo Aura One LE to add more books.
5) The 'Collection' column showed zero (0) books; no books available.
6) Was told by more knowledgeable people on the forum that my 'database' was corrupted!!!!
7) My conclusion is that the firmware did something while in sleep mode.
2nd big problem.
1) picked up the KAO1 for charging in prep for doctor's visit next day
2) got msg about new firmware & so did the OTA new firmware while charging
3) at the Dr's office, opened the KAO1, which was in nickle mode, the KAO1 insist on connecting to a website that began with 's' as far as I can remember. Shutdown the KAO1 2 or 3 times & waited the 30+ sec in hope that the crap would disappear.
4) no good, but was able to select koreader after another shutdown & was able to read while waiting for the doctor.
As an aside, read that it was no problem in doing a search for a book to read in koreader; narrow minded. I prefer my books listing to be by date installed, preferably Calibre date which would place my chosen book as 1 of the 5 or 10 on the list and can be selected easily without doing any search.
edit: the KOA1 LE is now shelved & got an Kindle Oasis 2 and happy with it.

Issue 1 number 7 is wrong. It's not a firmware bug. The problem is that the database was corrupt before putting the KA1 (it is not KAO1) to sleep. It's possible you might have unplugged from USB before the KA1 was ready to be unplugged. A database error doesn't happen because of any firmware bug.
As for the second issue, I've never had such a problem or every read of such. But now with the 4.21 firmware and the latest Calibre, you'll have a ery good reading experience. Even better then with the Kindle.
