Sorry, but there have only been a couple of Kobo FW releases in the years I have had my Kobos. We believe those were tied to how Kobo handled USB disconnects.
I have 2 Kobo's. My Libra2 is my daily driver and I USB connect many times a week. Other that that FW issue ... No resets needed (I also use the DB backup tools in Kobo Utilities and have used it a time or two when I failed to pay attention to the connected status and did an Oh S... USB pull)
OTOH There are a few 'Best Practices' (and these apply to many USB devices), that reduce these issues to almost zero.
1) Do almost all USB connection activities STARTING from the bookshelf screen (no book open).
2)Wait for the OS to say it is OK to disconnect the cable. (Many OS buffer data transfers to give the user the illusion of fast)
2) Wait for the Kobo Screen to return (after Processing) to the cover view screen before pulling the plug. (lets the background stuff settle before dealling with a USB plug pull signal)
