  • instead of a factory reset or disconnecting/reconnecting from my kobo account, I just replace the database

I hope I will have less incidents going on, but I still love the Elipsa so much that I don't want to go back to the Libra or the Forma.
I tried doing this similar backup process, but I experienced too many errors. It works great for my Clara, however.

I love the Elipsa, too, so I'm glad to see Kobo shipped my replacement today. But I'm concerned about the database issues. A handful of us in this forum have had database issues with our Elipsas. I'm hoping this is something Kobo can address in a firmware update, because I'd hate to think it's a hardware issue with the product line.
