I'm trying now, but it just seems to be hanging on the first stage, 'checking updates'. Not the annotations paticularly.
This has been happening with my Aura One, also. I thought I’d fixed it by signing out and then back in, but the fix didn’t last. It’s very frustrating. While I can download books from Kobo, I can’t get my OverDrive books. Nor can I just leave it on so my position is synced across devices, as the battery drains. I know it’s not my internet connection, as my other Kobos update readily and quickly (and they live farther away from my router, also).

Signing out was a nuisance as I had to go through my entire (quite large) Kobo library to redownload the Kobo books I currently want on my Aura. It would have been worth it if it had stayed fixed. Now, I’m wondering if the nuclear option, a factory reset, would fix it for all time. It would be worth it, once, Obviously not if it wouldn’t, but it means I have to give up reading my OD books on any of my Kobos, which is most annoying. I’d hold out for the next firmware update if that would trigger a fix, except for the Catch-22 aspect which is that it won’t download and install. I know I can sideload an update, but I shouldn’t have to. I’m an OTA updater.

I know it’s anecdotal, but it seems as if a significant number of people are experiencing this issue.
