Jon, while you may not turn off your ereaders, someone who uses their ereader less often may decide to do so.

Nonetheless, the boot behaviour the OP is seeing is not normal and telling them not to turn their ereader off is less than helpful.

For me, the issue is not normal and I would suggest backing up his device database and trying the various factory reset options

The options in order of less drastic are:

Use the sign out option from Settings => Accounts menu

Use the Factory reset your eReader from Settings => Device information

Bring up the search box and type devmodeon.and tap Go.
Under Settings => Device information, you now see a new entry labelled Developer options. Tap on view and the last page should have Factory reset your eReader.

To revert Developer Mode to off, type devmodeoff in the search box and tap Go.

The first option resets the contents of the .kobo directory back to factory but does not remove other content. After the clear, any sideloaded books will be re-imported.

The second option wipes the user information and anything else stored in the exposed partition but does not revert the firmware version to factory.

The third option wipes everything back to factory. Firmware updates, reloading sideloaded books, fonts, etc. will be needed.
