What can I do to prevent this. I do all the moves to connect and remove properly. I maintain large collections on my kobo and remove and add at least weekly. Hard resetting the kobo constantly is just not sustainable.

I have already given away my kobo libre H2O

Maybe the time has come to install and use the Kobo Utilities feature to take a backup of the Kobo database on each connection and save several versions of the database. This way when corruption IS detected you can restore a non corrupted version.

Additionally, what version of the f/w are you using; any modifications installed?
