My new Elipsa arrived. Other people here have complained about database issues. So far, one other person gave up on the Elipsa and returned theirs to the store. I rather love the Elipsa, so I opted to get another one. I'll update this thread if I start to see disappearing books again.
For now, I've setup my Elipsa with a few hundred books, I restored the only notebook that I was able to save from my other Elipsa, and now I'm running my Elipsa through it's paces.
When I first set it up with the Kobo Desktop app, it got stuck rebooting for a few minutes. Kobo Desktop had updated its firmware. When the Elipsa finally booted, the What's New message was there with its sparse details, then I tried to sync to the server and it said it needed to update the firmware again. Then more downloading and booting, and the What's New message with the same sparse details reappeared. I can't say that it was a beginning that inspired confidence, but after all that, I am up and running. Crossing fingers.
