It's not just patching. For example, I wanted to compare my Kobo Touch 2.0 with other readers on the latest book I was reading. So I hooked it up to my computer, opened Calibre and loaded the book. I didn't see it on the Kobo (my mistake there, forgot I had to go to my library) so I decided to delete the book and reload it. I got the message that read something like, "this version of the Kobo database is too new to be supported." So I updated Calibre to the newest version, reloaded Calibre and tried again... same message. Finally remembered how to set up the "do it anyway" option. But I run into this kind of thing with Kobo more than on my other readers. I think it's because they're updating all the time — I don't know for sure. It's not that huge, but it is a little frustrating.
EDIT: I also have issues with Obok. It will work on one book but not another, but I'm guessing that's probably something to do with Linux. Still, I use Linux and I don't have these issues with the Kindle DeDRM.
