Two days ago, I encountered "database corrupted". So I disconnected / reconnected my Kobo account, annoying but manageable, even with 7000 books:
* review parameters
* patch
* change affiliate, load dictionaries and custom dictionaries, fonts, screensavers
* and patiently disconnect/reconnect reader to PC a score of times to allow the database to recognize books.
* turn the Sage off then on before synchronizing reading position and metadata.

Once done, I checked the DB was ok, and started reading. Disaster: every time I tried to change the font , the reader rebooted - and I tried many times.
So I reinitialized my Sage, a much longer and more painful process with those 7000 books. Done after two days, but the problem subsists: whichever book, however many times I try, Sage reboots after every attempt to drop the fonts list.

It seems unlikely that the fonts drop list problem could be linked to the database corruption, and I have no idea what is going on, or how I might solve the problem. Please help.
