Is that the June 2013 firmware? If so, isn't that too recent to take me back to the 5 book homescreen and the slider?

One other thought I had:

If I do a factory reset, wouldn't my device revert to the original firmware version (this is the version I am happy with)? If it can revert this way, how do I avoid the thing updating to the latest version, which I guess it will do when setting itself up again!

Sorry for the questions, but having had a nightmare before with a bad update that effectively bricked my Kobo (and Kevin's excellent help getting me out of that hole - thanks Kevin!) I don't want to update firmware if I can possibly avoid it again!!

Thanks Anne for your help thus far.

Tim.
