But... does the Kobo firmware just not timeout the connection after some time? |
I had this problem with my Clara HD. It was constantly dead when I’d wake up in the morning. I discovered it was stuck in an endless loop in the sync process just as you’ve noticed. I could’ve shut off Wi-Fi syncing, but I use it too much. The way I fixed it was to full factory reset my Kobo, then update it. Then I restored all my preferences and books. It was a complete pain, and all my awards got reset again, but I don’t have the sync loop issue anymore. In fact, syncing is quick now.
