Phew, it works. Thanks for the patience in answering my troubles. I gues my wife will just have to get used to the newer interface.
Good that it is working. If you want to go back to the older firmware you can, but I would recommend another factory reset. You can install older the firmware over the current, but I only recommend going back a few versions. Going back to a 3.x would be to much and there is a database change in there that might prevent it from happening.

When I do want to play with an older firmware, the method I use is:

- Factory reset.
- Choose to setup via the PC.
- Let the Kobo desktop do its stuff, but DO NOT eject when finished.
- Replace the firmware files on the device with the version I want to use.
- Eject the device.

I have done this plenty of times over the years to try something in older firmware. But, with the trouble you have been having, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to go through more.
