Thank you, this is very useful information. Kobo should make a "help, my kobo is lost/stolen" button on their website, so that you could factory reset it through their website. I would also like a security code so that I could lock the device when it's sleeping. But not using a credit card for buying books works great in the mean time.. 😉
