davidfor thank you for your prompt work on the Calibre driver. It and all the features are very much appreciated, enhancing the way I get to do one of my favourite daily activities: read a book.

I had the same problem yesterday. I was on the train to Leeds, a nice comfy seat by the window with no-none with annoying elbows next to me. I turned my Glo on, only to be confronted by the ER.. DRM! message.
I tried telling my Glo that there wasn't any DRM, but it did not listen.
I was seriously irritated. Four chapters from the flipping end of a good book too. I tried to pull out my smartphone and read something else I had on that, but a) I wanted to finish the book I was reading, b) stupid little LCD screen c) why wouldn't my lovely Glo let me read my book?
I had to stare out of the window instead. Stupid cows. Stupid sheep. Stupid lovely picturesque Pennine English countryside. Want book!
It was only after Huddersfield (nearly where I wanted to be, folks) that I thought to eject the SD card all my books live on. As if by magic, I could open my books again.
Didn't finish my book on that journey
Learn from my mistake folks.
Do not press OK on that "I'm going to update -- proceed?" message the same morning you want to read your Kobo on a train. Just wait. Or er, try taking the SD card out and back in BEFORE you sit there for most of your journey cursing your own stupidity.
[edit]: No light button issues here for me, sorry. Working just as it always has, and I read on lowest light setting. I'm certain it is working as normal as the train went through tunnels on the way back and I'd have noticed when it went darker.
