People generally brick their devices when they try to do things that take attention to detail and involve doing things to their reader that are outside of normal usage. Even something as seemingly simple as adding an update to device from a downloaded file, rather than through Kobo's process, can screw things up if done improperly.
There have been several occasions where the user has installed a firmware update from the Kobo servers either using the desktop app or WiFi and it has bricked their ereader. Not as common as user error but it does happen.
