In 3.18.0 they removed a column from the user table. The column was only added in 3.17, so if you are going back before that, you will be safe. And from what was in the column during the 3.17.x firmware, I don't think it was ever used.
Personally, I take the occasional factory reset as a chance to do a cleanup. I keep adding books and not removing them when I have read them, so after a factory reset, I just send the unread or in progress books back to the device. That gives me an uncluttered device. Well, relatively uncluttered  |
Okay. So, I take it that once I replace all my files and folder, including the .Kobo folder under FW 3.18, to my device that has been downgraded to 3.12, I should hopefully not encounter any problems?
