I use reading list to sync books to the device. When I want to add a book, I add it to a reading list that adds a tag to the book and syncs everything on the list on next connect and clears the list. I have another reading list that is sync'ed from what is on the device, and sets the flag, so everything on the device gets the flag set eventually. I have saved searches that give me lists of books that are suppose to be on the device but are not (in case I finish a book and delete it, now I can go mark the book as done and clear the on device tag). It is possible to soft reset the device and have it rebuild the database without needing to re-sideload all the books (just delete the database), but even if the side loaded books get wiped, I can just select the ones with the tag and schedule them to be sync'ed again. Or weed out the list before I do that. Or send them in small batches over a couple of days when it is convenient... |

I use a custom column for the books that I send to my devices. A saved search shows only the books belonging to this column. When a device is connected, I click on the saved search and sort by on_device, so I can see at a glance which books are not yet sent.

Reading your comments prevents me to update this year.
4.35 version works well, with patch and nickel menu. I really wonder that after 5/6 releases firmware could be still so buggy. Sometimes my Libra 2 freezes and it needs to make a reboot, but it happens very rarely and this thing occurs with a lot of devices (pc, smartphones etc). Maybe you could consider to make a downgrade of firmware. |

Also for what it is worth, the issue with database corruption does not seem connected to not safely ejecting your ereader. The extra database files that are visible during an error connect very strongly suggest that the issue is during the shutdown of the file system on the exposed partition prior to the connect to your PC.

@Artemide, explain exactly what you are doing. We both have a Libra 2 and you have problems I don't.

Maybe the solution is to check all ePub before they are sent to a Kobo and if they don't pass, fix the errors. |

To me it happens not at all. Most books are OK. But occasionally there are ones with errors. I have no idea how they slip past epubcheck unless it's due to an older epubcheck version a newer version.

I've come across a couple of books in need of fixing errors. The calibre editor fixed them just fine. Most books don't need it. As basically every book has some errors, but very few cause any issues on my Kobos, I don't waste my time error-checking everything; if I have an issue, I'll fix it when it happens.

That could be were the problem lays. It could be an ePub with errors that the parser doesn't understand.
