I got a bit confused when you wrote "Now you can eject your Glo and then allow the firmware update to run" because that made me think I needed to eject the reader through the Kobo Desktop Application (since that's the only way I had ever ejected the reader before). I took a chance and just disconnected the Glo from the USB cable (which is what I think you meant) and it worked. Then I followed the rest of your instructions. |
If you have a Windows computer, you would use the Safely Remove Hardware widget to eject the ereader, on a Mac, you would drag the ereader drives to the Trash to eject them.

Yes, you will have to delete them each time. Syncing over WiFi is much iffier and I would say syncing over WiFi is not what you want to do.

While I like having my ereader live on the bleeding edge, others would like to be able to find a firmware version they are happy with and stay there until there is a compelling reason to upgrade. At one time, you could fake the software version and prevent upgrades but that loophole has been closed for quite a while.
