At 1st I thought was something related to the collections/series metadata being updated. I disabled and moved on. Things were nice, I got confident and enabled it again, and boom, database corrupted. At same time I was sideloading CBRs/CBZs and reading them too.
I was following this thread and yesterday I decided to reset the device, sideload everything without the Collection/Series enabled and no CBR/CBZ.
Profit! Enabled the Collection/Series. Profit! Sideloaded converted CBZ/CBR as EPUB and later reconverted to PDF (because of the zoom). Profit!
I side loaded all my books, comics in PDF format and have all of them on their respective collections and series. Perfect.
And here is the list of problems I faced:
- WIFI losing passwords after crashs;
- Files being in the device and Calibre not able to match them with my Library;
- Ghost files on home and collection;
- Crashes reading CBR/CBZ followed by database broken;
- Device with its mass storage marked as dirty (needs to rescan);
Thank you all for the effort on this, if it was not for this thread I would just gave up and started sideloading books using dropbox or Calibre web.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been running into the same issues, but I'm also a bit glad I'm not alone. I've been keeping up this thread despite risking people thinking I'm bonkers. LOL So I'm glad somebody else found it helpful. Now let's figure out a solution.
My first move is to restore my Kobo AGAIN, then refrain from side-loading any comics onto it. That's not much of a solution, but it's better than factory restoring all the time.
