This is a background task and can take a quite some time when you've added many books at once. However, this background tasks might abort occasionally for unknown reasons (reasons I don't know or can force or reproduce). Hit or miss.

When the ereader is connected to an external power source (usb cable) during this background task, this process will be significantly faster and significantly reduce the chance of premature interruption.

Connect your reader to a power outlet with a usb cable and go to "My books" and slowly scroll through all the pages. Do not go to the next page until all book covers have been generated. I assume that all necessary parts will have been extracted by then. Including the book description and all book covers with different sizes for the library (My Books) and Front page.

Edit: P.S. Probably applies to all Kobo ereaders. I've had this issue with the Kobo Glo, Glo HD, and Libra2. I do not own a Clara HD.

That's a great suggestion. When I load books up on my Kobo, I manually scroll page by page until all the thumbnails are loaded. I don't even think about it anymore, though I do wish they'd load on their own.

Another thing came to mind. Sometimes one corrupt ePub could be causing issues. The only way to find out which one is to remove all the side-loaded books, then add them back in small batches until you encounter problems again.
