If you have a good idea of what books are on the device, you could backup the database (.kobo\KoboReader.sqlite) and restore that with the books afterward the factory reset and firmware install. That will be quicker to do the backup, but no quicker to do the restore.
Another way to do it is to open the Glo, remove the internal SD card and take an image of it. Then, if you don't like the new firmware, you just restore the image. Personally, I think this is a little overkill. But, as I keep sending images of the card to people to restore, maybe it isn't.

Thx for the massive input. I've only upgraded the FW once and I had some trouble getting it all going. Finally, so I'm not so keen to go down that path again.
My main reason for upgrading is the long paragraph bug - but has it been fixed yet??
