And if you only ever use the "KoboRoot.tgz" file to do updates, something will eventually break.

Thinking of that... I updated my Glo HD after a hard factory restore with the full ZIP archive (upgrade folder, etc.) Kernel stayed at version 3.0---something
Do the Mark 6 devices are stuck at that kernel version? Because my Libra runs 4.1 with the same firmware...
Maybe a little off-topic, but I'd like to know, thanks!
