doesn't work on her device.. so strange things, when restarting the device shows very fast bol.com before the main menu is there, when in sleepmodus, the word sleepmodus is replaced by the txt BOL.COM (as showed on my picture) and the patch I refer to on the Kobo eReader.conf does not work..
I have modified the affiliate.conf file to use BOL as affiliate partner. When I boot up my Kobo Glo (fw. 3.11.0) a "Kobo | Bol.com" image is shown before it enters the home screen of the device.
IMHO, there are no (known) real benefits for end-users to use any affiliate parter. The only exception could be the roll out of new firmware to some affilitate partner devices first. But is it a benefit, knowing the combination Kobo, firmware (and/or software) is not so… great?
I'm gonna change it back to Kobo (or BestBuyCa, if I want to load new firmware automatically instead of doing this manually or waiting until it becomes available for my unit.

The full screen mode is also present after a reboot.

Are you sure that the files you have modified are saved as "Unix" EOL format and "UTF8 w/o bom"? On Windows you should use a program as Notepad++. Do not use Microsoft applications such as Notepad (Kladblok) or WordPad.

Notepad++
Your edited files are probably saved in "Windows format" and/or as "ANSI" (can be found in the status bar, bottom right).
To correct this. Execute the actions below
1. Change format from ""Windows" to "UNIX". Menu item: Edit (Bewerken) > EOL conversion (Formaat) > Convert to Unix Format (Unix-indeling).
2. Change ANSI to UTF8 w/o bom. Menu item: Encoding (Codering) > Convert to UTF-8 w/o BOM (Naar UTF-8 zonder BOM converteren)
3. save the files and reboot your device.
