Papered Over · 03-05-2018, 06:57 PM

I booted up the Kobo which hadn't been used in a while and it sync'd and updated to an update and to my horror it is forcing a sign in to use the device.

I'm getting very fed up these days with companies doing this to hardware devices unannounced.

What are my options other using a hammer or going for another device, to reverse the damage to my device.

Is there a way to root it and reinstall previous versions or something like that?

Appreciate the help in advance.

I really miss my now inoperable iLiad - they got so much right with that device. Sigh.
