1. If you use Calibre, use the Kobo Utilities plugin to make a daily backup of the database. You should be doing this anyways. This way, even if it does break, you can restore the most recent backup.

2. Connect only from the home screen. Close any books, especially kepubs.

3. Reboot before connecting. This is overkill for most times, I only do it after importing new books to make sure the database isn't left open.
I have no need to reboot. I agree that's overkill and I don't think it's needed.
