First - the on-topic bit. Kobo does have a strange idea about what should be user changeable. This is one that has (moderately) annoyed me for a while. The other oddity is not having a low battery warning - but I think I've mentioned this before
My theory is that the KT (at least) has very limited processing ability for some reason, and the facility to change things would put too much strain on the system. This is what stops me putting the devs in the category of "stupid" - they know the limitations of the system they are working with. I can't quite remember where we got to with an earlier thread of mine, but it did seem that some hardware builds had some fairly significant differences, and it might be that they have to work to that so they don't end up with a load of unhappy owners following an update that bricks an entire batch (again!)
Now, the off-topic: what do alarms and Kobos have to do with each other, Mrs_Often? I have to agree with some others here - you may have eaten some bad cheese (or sniffed some dodgy tulips, or been hit on the head with a clog/windmill). Unless, of course, your new Glo has an alarm built in?
Dutch food is far better than Belgian: I had the most wonderful Dutch smorgasbord (I can't remember what it was actually called) in Utrecht last year!
