Each time a new firmware comes out and we get a bunch of these posts, I try to work out how to change the message to improve it. About the only thing I can come up with is to add a suggestion to check the Kobo forum. But, it is already long and can't think of how to word it. If anyone has a suggestions, I'd like to hear them.

The alternative would be to change the style of the warning completely. Instead of the standard calibre exception error, display a warning message with a button to open the driver configuration so people can fix it. And a link to open the Kobo forum. It could probably change the setting, but, that would probably need another warning - "Are you sure you want to do this?"*
