Sometimes when I plug the device in to my computer via USB it freezes and reboots after a a couple seconds.

Is this a known issue?

I'm trying to use Autoshelf along with this to organize multiple series into a single collection. I don't think this is causing the issue though as I've also encountered it while just using NickelSeries alone when I was troubleshooting.

I also can't get the metadata to parse at all. All I'm doing is copying a couple of folders of books over to the kobo and then disconnecting the USB cable.

I've attached the content.opf file from one of my books that I used for testing.
A little update from me regarding this issue I had. After some more experimentation (using firmware 4.34.20097 now btw) I believe I can retract my previous statement where I said that I assume this to be an issue with NickelSeries.

I still suffer from the bug even though I am no longer using NickelSeries. Rather I am now using just Autoshelf alone with the regex for series parsing enabled. The issue seems to only occur when connecting the reader directly to my PCs USB ports. If I connect it using a hub there are no issues and another PC I tested also works fine.

My PC has an Asus Prime X470-Pro motherboard which utilizes Asmedia USB controllers. Those are apparently known for causing issues with all kinds of devices such as audio interfaces and logic analyzers.

I'm sorry if I gave you some extra work looking for a bug that apparently does not exist.
