Well something crazy happened with my Kobo Vox last night. I went to turn it on from sleep mode to resume reading a book and it apparently went into factory reset mode. It downloaded an update which would be many years old by now and then went into a perpetual loop saying there was not enough space on the SD card. I figured it was now virtually bricked and I'd have to upgrade to a new reader. According to that last email,
"If a factory reset is performed after February 28, Kobo Vox will not exit the setup process." That's sure what it looked like. This morning, thinking it all might have been a bad dream, I tried to start it again. Same thing, welcome screen like it was brand new, downloaded "update" and went into the same loop. I then tried connecting to a better wifi source and it completed and installed the update and restarted. I now have "brand new" Vox with all the native apps and some books I had in my Kobo library, but none of the books I was reading or apps I had installed myself. Have to start from scratch, but at least it's working.
