3. "The remainder of your symptoms suggest that your database is corrupted. The fastest way to fix this is to sign out and then sign back in." - What do you mean by "to sign out and then sign back in"?
4. In what scenario you use the following code:
Code:
menu_item : main    : Import books       : nickel_misc    : rescan_books_full
5. In what scenario you use the following code:
Code:
menu_item : library : Shutdown           : power          : shutdown
  1. The eject would be done by the computer OS. Drag the mounted disk to the Trash in the dock, etc.
  2. Yes. I haven't seen a database corruption on my Sage when rebooting before an USB connection.
  3. To sign out, More => Settings => Accounts => Sign out at the end of the column with your Kobo email address. After signing out, you will need to sign in again, all sideloaded content will be re-imported. This is where KoboUtilities, update metadata and store/restore current bookmarks come in handy.
  4. I use import books after I have transferred books outside of a USB connection (transferring books over an SSH connection for example).
  5. I use the shutdown option when I am not planning on using a Kobo for an extended period of time (some of my older Kobos are used for testing and not normally used for reading).
