Removing the DRM has nothing to do with what firmware you are using.

The firmware and the desktop do use the same DRM, but the keys are different. I don't know if anyone has tracked down the correct key for the latest firmware. It is working for the latest desktop.
But, does your Kobo library have epub versions of these books? Most books have both versions with the epub version downloadable from the library. If this has DRM, then ADE will be needed.

Thanks guys, I've updated my firmware and so far there were no reboots.
Well, it was the first time I bought something from the Kobo Store. The first thing I did was to use the Obok DeDRM calibre plugin to remove its DRM, get it stored in my PC and then sideload it to my Glo.
When selecting a book, the plugin will first try to get it from an attached Kobo (which is the way I used it) and only if there's no device connected it'll try getting the book from the desktop application. From what I've read it used to work with the 3.15 desktop version but not with the 3.17.
I wasn't sure if the firmware update would cause the same behavior when trying to get the book from the device or nothing would change in this regard. In a couple of weeks, when it's released, I'll probably buy the next volume of this series. Then, I will once again try to remove its DRM.
Once again, thank you all for your time
