A virus for Linux? A voodoo curse is more probable.

Have you tried to reset Kobo completely (you have to long press the light button and turn on the Kobo if I remember well) (and if I remember well this removes ALL the contents from your Kobo, books included)

As long as it has been properly service and recertified, a refurbished device should be perfectly fine. You should not see any difference between a new and a refurbished model.

Of course this isn't always the case, but for the most part it does work out.
I don't know how it is elsewhere, but in Canada, they have to sell as refurbished even if there was never anything wrong--if it was returned because people want another colour or just changed their mind. When new models come out, a whole lot of refurbs appear because people want the new model and are still within the exchange period for the older devices.

Speaking of such:

just to save some chestbeating.

Edit: I tried the usual Kobo4/Kobo3 and there does not seem to be a Kobo3 version.

Awesome, thank you so much! Aura updated, and hooray, the italics as bold bug is finally solved!

Updating the wife's Glo now...and, success!

Does this mean this firmware is no good for the mini? Would love to have the italics/bold bug fixed on that too....
