No correction needed. Kobo does not lock down their ereaders so you can modify the firmware without needing to jump through hoops while hoping the hoops will not be taken away in the next firmware revision. Want to revert to an earlier firmware revision? No problems (if you jump back too many versions, the database may not be happy and don't go back before the factory version for your model). Bricked your Kobo playing with the firmware? Check the factory restore option for your model. Want to use KOReader or Plato? Check for the one click install packages.
Amazon's Kindle ereaders have their advantages but I prefer a more open system.
