The current Kobo firmware has a glitch that sometimes leaves things open when connecting to PC. That makes database corruption more likely. (If you look at the .kobo folder in your file manager, you may see an sqlite write-ahead log - which indicates that it exported to USB while the sqlite database was open.)

I've had it happen under two circumstances:

a) connecting while a kepub is open.
b) Using a NickelMenu option to reconnect immediately after importing a large amount of books.

Most of the time, making sure I'm on home screen before connecting prevents it. However, I do reboot after doing imports.

If you have not a backup, 'repair account' in the Kobo options I think will also fix it.
