I'm curious about what gives you that impression. None of them should have caused the error you reported. The only one that is actually involved in transferring the books is the KoboTouchExtended driver. But, it is a bit hard to know what happened there, as you didn't post the detailed error message. That shows more about what went wrong and when. Also, what happened with the connection to the PC? Did it disconnect as well?

From the point of view of loading a new device, I have sideload several thousand from calibre in one go. I usually limit it to batches of 1000, but that's as much about patience and wanting to use the device as anything else. I haven't had a problem doing this in the last few years.

I am unable to properly set up as Kobo is currently down...
Maybe will redo when Kobo is again operational.
You were pretty unlucky to need to do this just when Kobo was doing some maintenance. But, if you are planning to purchase books from Kobo, or use a library, you will need to sign in properly. But, what you did is unlikely to have caused the problems with calibre. Unless you also managed to corrupt the database at the same time.
