I've seen this discussed on Reddit, but figured the experts here might know a fix those on Reddit don't.

Not quite every time - and not usually when I'm adding just ONE book - but very often, after sending books to my Kobo and disconnecting it from my laptop (with the eject device function, properly, not just yanking the cord out!) I need to restart my Kobo before I can use it.

After ejecting, it shows me the cover of whatever I was just reading. But it only shows that; powering it on lights up the screen, but I can still only see that book cover. Powering on and off does nothing except make the screen light up or go dim.

Sometimes it doesn't happen immediately; the Kobo is ejected, opens normally, loads the new books fine. But the next time it goes to sleep, it doesn't wake up properly - lights up, but only shows the cover of what I was reading. Until I force a restart.

This is apparently a well-known problem in some of the Reddit forums. Does anyone here know a fix? Or at least why it's happening? I'd understand the device struggling if I was adding hundreds of books at once, but that's not what's happening.
