For me, the sign of a corrupted database in odd things happening after a power cycle. A Kobo ereader uses an in memory copy of the database and only reloads the full database on a power cycle.

If you had bothered to so some searching, you would find that very often the first sign of database corruption is after a firmware update when the ereader is restarted and the database reloaded.

I think it's important people realise that if they do this, all their books' connections to the different collections will be destroyed - except for those you bought from Kobo. You will have a bunch of empty collections.
Since that behaviour is what Kobo has done for a decade, it can hardly be called a bug. See my other post and perhaps read a bit of the preamble to PIPEDA.

And ghod knows, I've signed in and out of Overdrive enough times when switching libraries and haven't managed to run into issues so this suggests that your issues are not common.

As for your fondness for bold and colour? That's annoying and unnecessary.
