If you're concerned about the update process because you have a slow internet connection, you could always download the firmware once then apply the update manually after doing a factory reset.

(If you want to do so, it looks like the factory firmware is kept on a separate partition and is copied over when necessary. You should be able to extract KoboRoot.tgz into the root directory of that partition, but I'm making no guarantees.)
There's a bit more than the firmware there. I've done a factory reset firmware update but used a second uSD card. It seems to work but no large bets as to whether it will work in the future.
