ETA The link is to a post in the firmware 4.0.7523 thread, I am not sure if you didn't update your device on purpose or not, so please note there is a newer firmware and there will be another release at the 26th of September AFAIK. And I am not sure if the firmware you use is better or worse than the 4.0.7523. You'd better ask in the firmware thread.

You should be able to remove the branding (I think) bij editing .kobo/affiliate.conf with something that respects line endings (WordPad or Notepad++ or the like, not Notepad) and change the 'affiliate=BOL' (or 'BOL.COM', whatever it is) to 'affiliate=Kobo'.

Edit: Ninja-ed :-)

Thank you! That did the trick :]
