When going from 3.3.1 to 3.5.0, my machine redetected my Glo as 3.5.0, so it's at least not a universal issue. (Personally, I'd rather it just used a static string, so I wouldn't have to keep reassociating the drive letter every time a new firmware comes out.)

If you really want to change it, it's fairly simple, at least under Windows. You just delete the existing Kobo driver(s) in Device Manager, and then Windows will pick it up fresh when you next plug the reader in.

To anyone about to ask how to go about that - don't. If you're not familiar enough with your system to understand what to do from the shorthand, it's probably best to leave things be. No insult intended; I just don't want to be responsible for anyone messing something up...and for those who don't know, I had surgery yesterday and thus consider myself incapable of giving detailed information on such a subject for at least the next week. Especially from memory.
