Do you switch off the device completely once the file transfer and database update has been successful so that the database can completely rebuild itself?
There's no hard limit to how much you can transfer in one fell swoop, evidence suggests it simply gets riskier the more books you push. I would recommend capping at 100 per push, then disconnect, let the Kobo update the database, verify that you can open and page through one of the new books, and then starting with the next batch. No need to power off the device.
