Libra 2 Libra 2 keeps freezing and reboot loop

[Velaryon]

I have a problem with my Libra 2 where it regularly freezes whilst reading, either when changing the page or when closing the dictionary. The device then restarts on its own, but even here it constantly freezes and starts again. After 20 to 30 minutes, it can finally start up again until the home screen. Yesterday, however, it never got to the home screen and I had to reset it manually.

I have had this problem with every book I have read. They are all sideloaded and in the KEBUP format.

On first start-up, the device was immediately updated to version 4.31. It has since been updated to version 4.32 and now 4.33. The problem occurs with all the versions i have had.

Apart from the updates from Kobo itself, nothing has changed to the software.

Is there anyone who knows a possible solution for this? This problem is becoming very frustrating, especially when I can only read for an hour a day and have to spend half an hour each time to solve this problem.

It's possible the database is corrupt. With Calibre, using the Kobo Utilities plugin, you can check the database and see if it is corrupt. If it is, you can sign out and sing back in and start over.

Connect your reader to pc (or Android with OTG cable) when it crashes, it will restart.
If you turn off the device with WiFi OFF on the next reboot it will probably freeze again. So remember to always turn it off with WiFi ON (also pay attention to the auto-off).
This KOBO Libra2 reboot issue goes on after an update last January and still hasn't been fixed. Many users have it.

About freezing while reading I don't know... probably the database is corrupt.

I have enabled my WiFi, but the problem during rebooting persists. What I do notice, although this may be purely coincidental, is that if I lay the device on a flat surface and don't touch it, it takes less time to get to the home screen, about 5 minutes, as opposed to when i hold it in my hands as it takes 20 to 30 minutes or sometimes longer.

I will check with Calibre tonight if the database is corrupt. I don't have access to a computer to check it right now.

I'm a complet idiot in this so I'd probably better stay quiet but: Have you tried disabling auto rotate?
