If they were going to do a cosmetic coverup I doubt they would have waited 2 months to do it. While I agree with your general point that it seems like the error checking routine was a little to aggressive, just doing a cosmetic coverup would lead to issues down the road that would kill their credibility worse than the current issue. I am curious what percentage of users were actually having issues with it. I was fortunate enough to have never had the issue, and my sympathies to those who had it repeatedly, but I really wonder if it wasn't just a tiny proportion of Kobo owners that were getting it. I can understand why those who were getting it were screaming bloody murder, but that might have made it seem more widespread than it actually was.
Fortunately it appears to be fixed now!
