It was also incredibly amateurish and ham fisted. Even at first glance, 2 things should have been obvious. 1. The error should have happened only on sync, not on boot with wifi off. 2. There should have been a cancel button, rather than immediately rendering the reader non-operable.
Except the "bug" apparently only happens on devices that have been modified by third-party "hacks". Again, you can't expect Kobo to take that into account when designing their firmware.
