Hey guys, my Glo is still on 3.15, as I was really afraid of the sickel problem. Aside from usual books, I also read a lot of English fan translations of Japanese light novels, which I get from Baka-Tsuki, and some of these usually take several seconds to load when opening from the home screen (waking up is fine), probably due to having about a dozen pics each and several chapters.

I've just read some of the feedback for all of the firmware versions that came after 3.15.0 and from what I've gathered they have sort of "deactivated" sickel due to the restarting issues, though I couldn't find any mention of sickel in this version's thread.

1- Could anyone confirm it's still not an issue anymore even on the January firmware?


Also, as I've mentioned, I read a lot of light novel volumes. Whenever a company licenses a series in English, the project gets taken down from Baka-Tsuki in order to support the official release. Recently I had to buy a volume of a series that was licensed by Yen Press from the Kobo Store and I managed to use the Obok Calibre plugin to remove the DRM from the book stored in the device (I read somewhere the plugin isn't working with latest desktop versions, only with the device itself).
From what I read on the "Direct Links to Kobo Firmware" page, I couldn't properly understand whether both the firmware and desktop application use a different sort of DRM since version 3.17 or it only applies to the desktop version.

2- Has anyone had success removing the DRM from a book in the device on the latest firmware?


*By the way, I must apologize for any grammar errors and such as English isn't my native language.
