At one time, I dropped the number of sideloaded books on my Sage to less than 10, removed all the synced books and the database corruption refused to happen. This suggests my keeping a few thousand books on my Sage (currently, 3027 total books) with the required larger database size might have an effect on how often I see the issue. Is this usage normal for the average Kobo user? Very likely not.
I have about 7,000 ebooks on the Sage and over 90% are PD. All titles bought from Kobo, or anywhere, are transferred via USB. I also manage a 2nd Sage with over 6,000 ebooks on it.

I've not had the issue since remembering to always go to My Books before connecting USB. I always wait for "Unread" to update with new titles before unplugging and reconnecting USB.


No issue with my Elipsa, Libra or Libra 2 either since adopting this plan.

The two Sage ereaders have "SideloadedMode = true" and one Libra is logged in.


So the issue isn't straightforward. All are on the latest FW before the new ereaders.
