I found where they store searched strings: under `Kobo eReader.conf`. I could be conceited, but I found it a very stupid place to use as searched terms storage, when you have a database and you record any single dictionary activity...

Anyway it's strange that new rows with EventType=9 are created, since they have all ContentID = NULL and the primary key should block this.

Those are terms used for library searches. If you look in the database at the table content_settings, the "RecentBookSearches" column stores searches done within a book. This is searching for occurrences of a word in the book, not the dictionary.

A quick search tells me that SQLite allows nullable columns to be used in the primary key. It is a known bug that they would cause problems to fix. And once you allow nulls in the PK, allowing multiple entries in the index with NULL is the correct behaviour.

Aaaah, thank you. Unfortunately I squandered my pocket karma

Oh my god... not only it is non-standard SQL, but it's also counterintuitive.

2.5.x boot issues with microsd
Kobo Touch 2.5.2 takes a really long time to boot with epubs on the microSD card.

If I boot without the microSD, it looks like it's stuck. After a good long wait (~30mins), the covers show up - along with a good drop in battery %.
It boots up real quick if you booting without the microsd card. And no, there isn't anything wrong with the microsd card either, it works just fine on my wife's Kobo with 2.4 firmware.

Reverting to 2.4 seems to be the only solution. More in this thread:

Unhappy Kobo Touch 2.5.2 suddenly no covers?
Updated to 2.5.2 last night and suddenly the book covers from epubs are gone, when the ereader is sleeping. Anyone else?

If the books are on the SD card, it is a known bug.

I have a Kobo Aura HD with firmware 2.5.2.

I cannot read RTF books, it comes up having a single empty page (or sometimes some title page), and cannot read it at all, displays a white screen, page change mode says page 1 of 1.

I have a Kobo Aura HD with firmware 2.5.2.

I copied a few dozens of RTF/DOC books onto the root directory of the reader, and then ejected the reader properly. However only about two-third of them is actually found by the e-reader, some files (both RTF and DOC) are simply not shown in the library.

I have a Kobo Aura HD with firmware 2.5.2.

It is not able to boot up with a SD card (16GB) containing a few hundred (ok, maybe a thousand) books, startup freezes for hours (I did not wait until it finished, I reset after a few hours).

That is a known problem with 2.5.2. When I saw it, it was a matter of waiting long enough. I don't know if it means you aren't waiting long enough, or if there is something else happening. In any case, it has been drastically improved in 2.6.1. There is still a delay, but it is only a few minutes.

None of the Kobo devices read DOCs, so if that was the extension, they will be ignored. The few times I have tried RTF, they have been OK. Any chance of getting to see one so I can test here?
