I'd have to disagree with you. Relatively few of the posts regarding bricked Kobos are from people who automatically upgraded using the Kobo servers. The majority seem to come from people who have attempted to modify their SD cards, sideloaded firmware versions that do not support the hardware or otherwise (mis)used their Kobo in an unsupported fashion.

As I commented earlier, anyone who does this without a backup of the internal uSD card to allow a return to a known good condition is taking unnecessary chances.

Looking a quite a few of the threads in this forum, "important" seems to be the last word that would come to mind. Firmware 2.8.1, Pass or Fail? Firmware 2.6.1 Pass or Fail? On A scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you with the Way Firmware is being released? What Color is your Touch?
