I don't understand what you mean.
Can they monitor my device via my Kobo account?
What exactly do you mean by "They could see"?
I was texting them at Kobo Live Chat Support thing, and I used a fake name, and didn't give them my email address.
So I don't know what you mean by "They could see."
This was our conversation:
[greeting and stuff]
Me: Would manually installing firmware into a Kobo eReader void any warranty?
They help guy: Yes, it would. Kobo strongly advises not to manually install any firmware, as it can possibly damage the eReader.
And he was right! As I said before, I bricked my Mini while trying to downgrade.
If I hadn't re-imaged (I don't know if that is the right term. I took out the SD card and replaced the firmware in the .kobo directory. So, is that replacing the image?) the device, it would be completely dead and useless by now.
It would be very nice if you explained what you meant by "They can see."
