If you didn't experience this problem on older firmware, you could also try downgrading, but probably one or more books is to blame (aside from Kobo's poor error handling).

eBooks should not have any technical errors.

Jon, I'm going to have to bill you for a new keyboard since I sprayed coffee over my keyboard when I read that statement.

It wou/ld be worthwhile knowing as much as we can about these books.

Are they originallty kepubs from the Kobo store or converted ePubs?

Whats is the provenance of these books?

image handling is one large difference between the two engines on the Kobo. With keoyb's one an click on an image to zoom it; this action is not supported on the ePub engine,

They're library epub books downloaded via Adobe Digital Editions and fixed to allow sideloading.

Oddly, if you have your Adobe ID setup on your Kobo, you can sideload directly from ADE though that will deliver an epub format ebook.

If the library you are using uses Overdrive, you can set up your Kobo with Overdrive so your loans will automatically be synced to your Kobo from Kobo's store which will deliver a kepub format ebook.

If by "fixed", you mean you have removed the DRM which also removes the return date, that is pretty much ebook piracy, IMNSHO.
