If you use Calibre, check those ePub with the eBook editor for errors. If any are found, fix them. Then once all come up with no errors, try loading them back on your Kobo. If things still don't work, apply one of the patches to modify sickel.

Mh. This does not seems to me a good design. nickel should respond to sickel but you should anyway be unable to interact with it for other reasons. IMHO the best solution is to add a way to do an hardware reboot instead (for example, pressing the pin hole for a little time).

That's more than 1800 books to check...

Anyway Everything was fine until this morning when I added a few books and now it's stuck in a loop of Processing new files... -> reboot -> Processing new files... -> reboot -> Processing new files... -> reboot -> ...

At least this narrows the list of books to a handful.
For the record and me to take notes before I remove them here are the new files:
Quote:
/media/CC19-FF06/Foley, Michael
└── Age of Absurdity_ Why Modern Life Makes It Hard to Be Happy, The - Michael Foley.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Graeber, David
├── Debt_ The First 5,000 Years - David Graeber.epub
├── Democracy Project_ A History, a Crisis, a Movement, The - David Graeber.epub
└── Utopia of Rules_ On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy, The - David Graeber.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Kainulainen, Petri
└── Spring Data - Petri Kainulainen.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Kershaw, Ian
└── Hitler - Ian Kershaw.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Kuan, Joe
└── Learning Highcharts - Joe Kuan.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Litchfield, David R L
└── Hitler_s Valkyrie_ The Uncensored Biography of Unity Mitford - David R L Litchfield.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Miller, Robert L_
└── Hitler at War_ Meetings and Conferences, 1939-1945 - Robert L. Miller.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Ryback, Timothy W_
├── Hitler_s First Victims_ The Quest for Justice - Timothy W. Ryback.epub
└── Hitler_s Private Library - Timothy W. Ryback.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Smith, Zak
└── We Did Porn_ Memoir and Drawings - Zak Smith.epub
/media/CC19-FF06/Winesett, Jeffrey
└── Web Application Development With Yii and PHP_ Second Edition - Jeffrey Winesett.epub

EDIT: and after deleting the books manually I had to make a hard reboot... Loving this 3.17.0 !

Hi guys (and girls too !),

Everybody seems to be ok to say that the FW 3.17.0 is a great version (big thanks to developers for this nice work !) : stable, fast and without ghosting !

But are there new functions ?

Cycojesus, while it's not the 1800 files you have, I threw some 400 at my H2O yesterday, no issues. I don't think it's the number of files it has to process.

Updated my Glo too, all is ok.

But what are the differences between 3.17.0 and 3.17.3 ?

According to David over in the 3.17.0 discussion thread this update should resolve issues with PDFs and rebooting.

I'm kind of keeping my fingers crossed it also resolves the power off / losing your place issue though I can't really remember when I last powered down my H2O aside from last night to see if it would resolve an issue unrelated to firmware.
