I did more tests yesterday:

Upgraded to 4.32 and tried to read a Pocket article as well as an OverDrive book. It was unstable.
Disabled the Pocket integration, and restarted the device (still on 4.32). I then sideloaded a couple of E-Books (news websites converted to EPUB with Calibre, and transfered as KEPUB with the Kobo extended driver).
It was also very unstable, and I got multiple freezes and crashes. Those happened with both the OverDrive book and with the sideloaded KEPUBs (~200 kB and ~2MB, both mostly text).
It also crashed a couple of times without direct user interaction, while the Libra 2 was connected to my PC (device startup → home screen → connect to PC → wait a little → crash.

I checked the database several times with Kobo Utilities (PRAGMA integrity_check) and it was OK.

It has actually crashed / frozen with everything I have read so far (sideloaded, OverDrive, Pocket), and also without interaction. With 2.33, 2.32 and 2.30 (to a lesser degree). 😕
Most of you seem to not have those issues, so I'm beginning to think that my device may have some HW problem and am very tempted to exchange it.
