A reset to factory will get you the version of the firmware that is currently on your Kobo, not the original 1.0. As JC stated, the newest firmware for the original Kobo is in closed beta, even as we speak.

My general sense is that we are in an in-between stage--with the new version of the desktop really built around a firmware version that we have not yet seen (but should shortly if the beta goes well). I can hide preloaded books on my WiFi Kobo, but not currently on the original. I expect that to change.

I can sideload through Calibre just fine using the original Kobo and the WiFi, so i am not really sure what is up with your reader, jimr.
