I got thinking about this. The reason I didn't see this coming is because a "factory reset" with a Kindle really means clearing the device of all personal settings, but it does NOT reset the firmware to an earlier version. I guess it's not really a "factory reset" but this is what I was used to.
I can see where the Kobo method would be an advantage for hacking -- there's usually no "turning back" on a Kindle.
