Darrell,
Thank you so much for making a statement and putting us at easy knowing that Kobo acknowledges the issue exists and is doing something about it. Also, thank you for putting 1.9.17 back into the update process so those of us affected can now get our KT working again while you work on a solution.

If you have trouble getting your KT to do a factory reset via the PIN method (I found it didn't work. All it did for me was to cause a soft reset), try turning your KT off by holding the On slider to the right for 10 to 15 seconds. release it. Hold the Home button down while you turn your KT on. Once you see some lights flashing on the LED beside the on slider, let go of the Home button. Your KT should now do a full factory reset. This will wipe everything off your KT and you will need to sync it again in order to get your library back onto the KT. Now that Kobo have brought 1.9.17 back, your KT should update to 1.9.17 and you will be back in business again.
