She brought the Kobo over because she used to have a Kindle and needed Apprentice Alf's help to get her Kindle books on the Kobo. So, we set that up. I ejected the Kobo. It did the library update, and then I did a firmware update. In the middle of the update, it looked it just shut off. I left it that way for about 20 min and powered it on. I got some dots across the screen that would not go away and thing would never boot. I found some guide on the Internet on how to fix this. When I finished that, I had a wiped, but working Clara. Another time, I did that when I ejected it from Calibre. It locked up, and after a 15-20 min sit, I rebooted it, and for the 3 dots and needed to do a factory reset. Since then it's gotten 2 other firmware updates and seems to behave.
