Yesterday I tried to convert my books from epub to kepub using Calibre.

But then ... it all fell apart when I ran into a pretty serious bug.
Basically some books make the kobo shut down all of a sudden.
It happens in a very specific moment and that is when I turn the cover to see the first page of the book or at the exact moment I see the cover, and these two "versions" of the bug happen with specific books.
The weird thing is that (when it doesn't crash right away) I can go through the book by selecting the first page from the index and everything works as it should.

I add that I also tried kepubify, encountering the same problem and that my Kobo Glo HD is updated to the latest firmware version.

Thanks in advance to all those who can help me (and sorry for my English)
I can't tell you what causes this, but the latest firmware version (4.31.xxx) is very buggy.

Take a look at the thread about it, to find out if your specific problem is encountered by anyone else. In the thread, you'll find how to roll back to the version before (4.30.xxxx), too. It is very easy to roll back. Only thing to be mindful of is to keep the wifi turned off or the reader starts synching back to the latest version.

I had a lot of problems while on 4.31. and the rollback solved all of them for me.
