This is rather extreme advice but you could do a hard reset on your ereader, turn off your home's wifi (so it doesn't try to sync with kobo's server), or see what it lets you do when you select the option that you don't have wifi when you first turn it on. Then turn off the wifi in the kobo. And leave it off forever. There have been multiple threads here where people have had problems with syncing with the kobo servers and needing to reset their account. I keep my Kobo's wifi off and buy all of my books from amazon, manually download them to my pc, and side load them from calibre.

My elipsa arrived today and I sideloaded all 700+ books from my calibre library to it without any hiccups. (Although I did the sideloading in batches of 100.)
