I would check wifi one more time, in order to see if everything has 'caught up'. If the second one is much faster, then you're now OK.

Also, if the social aspect of Kobo is not important to you, then I would turn those things off. If not used, then why have them turned on? It just takes more time for those aspects to sync. -- Mine are all turned off.
