I bought a new Kobo Glo HD and was planing on installing KOReader on it because I had it on my Kobo Touch (now deceased), and I prefer the way KOReader treats my PDFs. Now I have just received the Kobo Glo and found that it already came with Nickel Menu and KOReader installed.

I´m glad it did come pre-installed because it saves me the trouble. But it is weird that it came pre-installed, right? Is this normal somewhere? I find it a bit suspicious.

I bought it from aliexpress because Kobo readers aren´t available anywhere else here in Brazil (that I know of).

Now, as I´m writing this, I did a bit of research and found that the only official storage option for the kobo glo hd is 4GB, while this one I bought has 16GB. To be honest, I´m glad about this too.

Should I worry about connecting it to the internet or something? I don´t really care about connecting it really, I usually just transfer thing from Calibre anyway.
I'd factory reset the device to be sure. The seller probably replaced the microSD inside for a 16GB one, and installed KOReader/NickelMenu.
I don't know the seller's background, but I strongly suggest you do a reset, who knows...
Type 'devmodeon' in the search bar, then Settings -> Device Information -> Developer Settings -> Scroll a bit -> Factory reset
