This. Exactly this. The implementation of this was a big bummer and a huge mistake.
Actually, the relative ease with which the firmware could be modified was the main reason for me bying a kobo touch. I am very, very disappointed that only a few days after I bought it, the newest firmware starts the locking-in I consciously avoided.
I really hope this gets removed with the next firmware update. Otherwise this is worse than amazon; everyone who buys a kindle at least knows he is going to be locked in and at the mercy of amazon.
If this does not get removed soon with newer firmwares, I will never ever buy a Kobo again, and will tell everyone to avoid them.
