Kobo Sage gets killed by certain files

Moving files onto my Kobo Sage is like playing Russian Roulette. Sometimes, they make it crash-loop forever, and the only fix is to factory reset the device. It is Such. A. Pain.

More specifically, lately I've found one culprit. I compressed a series of manga pages (JPGs) into a .CBZ, and after I move it onto the device and eject, my Sage takes about 5 seconds before the screen flashes, the three dots show, and then it repeats, forever. Of course, I would just remove the file causing it, but the crash happens too fast for the device to send the signal to allow the PC to access the storage.
The only solution is to delete everything on my device via a hard reset...

Does anyone know why this happens, or how I can prevent it? My device doesn't seem to have issues with other CBZ files, except the few it refuses to acknowledge are in the storage at all, but it also ignores the EPUBs from that manga too...
