I had better luck digging in "KoboReader.sqlite".

On device I still can't sign out (button still greyed out) but at least it is signed in into my account.

I also deleted slideshow directory which got rid of the annoying slideshow -- now get just blank white screen when in sleep mode.

Still can't do Factory Reset, button still greyed out...
I haven't seen the line "demoModeTimeout=120000" before. That plus the slideshow sounds like it is an a demo mode. Delete that line. Everything else looks fine.

Is there is an "affiliate.conf" in the .kobo directory? If so, what is in it?

The files in the .kobo directory are: affiliate.conf, device.salt.conf, KoboReader.sqlite, Trolltech.conf, version. In .kobo/Kobo are: Analytics.conf, Kobo eReader.conf. Do you have anything else?

Deleting the row from the user table was a good idea. Removing the database file effectively does the same thing and is needed if the database was corrupt in some way.
