Apparently, someone at Kobo thought it would be a good idea to remove the hardware factory reset from the Glo. I have no idea what specific experiences would lead someone to think this.

But it must be true, as the solution to breaking your Glo with the Touch firmware is to find a computer with Linux on it, get a copy of the Glo internal SD card image, do some Liniux shell commands, and rebuild the internal SD card yourself.

And to think that all I needed to recover from Kobo's last few authorised releases for the Touch was a bent paperclip.

Yup. Modern technology is so much better.
