Upon restart, the device should check what it's getting to upgrade to, and just simply tell you "Sorry, I don't like this firmware. I'm going to stick with what I have."
Very good question!!
Yeah, well, if we shouldn't be aware of it, it should be more properly hidden.

What is properly hidden? Does Kobo tell us at what location the updatefiles are stored? No, from what I have read I think some sniffing during the updateproces tells some techies where they are. That, I think, they can not stop, because the update uses internet.
Nonetheless, at least they could easily give the updatefiles names that correspond with the type of device they are supposed to be used for. Then there is, for people who anyway still want to side-update, only the problem that devices from the same type, still can have hardwaredifferences.
