At this point, I have stopped caring (well that's not QUITE true). I did NOTHING (caps for emphasis, not shouting) in any way to mess up the installation, the downloading of the files or anything that no regular person would not do while the stupid files were being downloaded and installed. (This statement made in frustration at Kobo, not in response to any accusation as I know you didn't make one)
I very much appreciate your comments and ideas (I really do, not just saying that to be polite), if I were more comfortable playing around with the file structure I would pick it apart like a turkey carcass after Thanksgiving, but I'm not. I can read the books - which my ever helpful yet compellingly dark haired spouse reminds me is the most important thing - it will display the covers during sleep (in it's own voodoo- like way), I have even figured out a way around the page numbers on the side of the text bug (when done reading, go to Home screen before putting to sleep, annoying, but if I don't forget it works).
I am NOT in love with this firmware so much that I will not try and roll back to 2.4.0 when given the opportunity. Yeah, once there were 1200 ebooks on the card, editing "Shelves" (why they needed to change that to collections is beyond me, except for the mirroring of Kindle layout) became a problem, and I got the whole font size change when I sometimes got to a new chapter, but it was essentially what I know and it was relatively stable.

You will not then be asked to register the device.

I am having my spouse look into the database editor, I don't download anything anymore without his checking up on it. The two times I did that I wound up with malware.
I think this will be the way I go, so that when the firmware borks, and it will, I can simply redo the firmware in a few minutes. The dictionaries may be an issue, but I can try working around that.
