If you don't have issues with sickel - great! If you do for whatever reason have issues - several workarounds are available by now. That should make everyone happy, even if adding such a mod-unfriendly trigger-happy reboot mechanism raised a few eyebrows.
Kobo's software is top notch. They have a lot to offer. No platform is entirely bug free.
Many platforms are completely locked down; Kobo's software may be closed source but they let you mess with systems where most other devices have barriers in place. And if you brick it while doing so there's a ton of recovery options. Things most other devices can only dream of.
My old reader [iriver Story HD] didn't have half the features, twice the bugs, a proprietary binary format, zero recovery options, and you could brick it with official firmware downloads from the manufacturer. Or simply by copying a book with a too long filename on it. And brick in this case meant dead device, game over.
