But, they know they have send a "reasonable" batch of people firmware 3.5.0 the normal way when you retract something ( happen some times with sony) because something is wrong, you provide the people that had been updated to 3.5.0. the old firmware back. ( push a downgrade as it is an upgrade, so revert the update and bring the 3.5.0 devices back to the latest stable one, but they didn't do that either... sorry if I am not clear, I mean, if you do an upgrade check and system sees you have a faulty 3.5.0, they would bring the firmware back to the latest stable one..

As example, don't know the real firmware and number so I just give them a name, sony had an upgrade with some mistakes.
Latest stable version was 3.1, the faulty one was 3.2 and they pulled it back, offering 3.3 as a new one, but in fact, the 3.3 was 3.1 so everyone with a defect 3.2 got an upgrade called 3.3 what was in fact their original 3.1... So if Kobo 3.5.0 was wrong and they know, why didn't they replace it for the latest one stable one.. ?? or do I now trust the Kobo company to much ?
They didn't removed it from their server... it is not that I don't believe you but if I was Kobo I would take the 3.5.0. offline and would "update" the ones with a faulty 3.5.0...back again, we only know the status from people here on this forum, but how many Kobo owners are present here... we don't know they really stop sending it, or just didn't send it to the ones present here..
