Funny that you quote the very part that counters this and yet still don't seem to have taken it IN. This is evidence you failed to read what I wrote before commenting.

I SAID : the person who suggested that the solution to the Overdrive-sign-in-problem was a 'wizard' with thousands of posts. I quoted the very advice in fact ! I will now add: the person said it would NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS.

I honestly thought that was sufficient info to go ahead.

ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT:

1. A similar situation MANY including me would have used as a comparison is the Kindle APP (with millions of users). On that app, you can not only sign out and retain your collections, they will even appear on OTHER DEVICES without you doing ANYTHING. Therefore I had a reasonable expectation that signing out on the Kobo wouldn't destroy hours of work. (Thanks for giving me the opportunity to mention that again 🤣 )

2. Now, if the Kindle DEVICE loses your collection info for books you sideloaded (by emailing?), then many of us DONT KNOW that, because its far LESS likely for a person to spend money on TWO different devices. I ONLY own a Kobo. And guess what? The MAIN USP for that device for me is the capacity to have your 'own' books on it! So I was honestly SHOCKED (and dismayed) it let all my collections info get destroyed without even WARNING ME.

Actually:

1. (Apart from a playful jibe about how some people respond to a complaint by laughing at the complainant and defending the company), I was ATTACKED FIRST

2. I DID listen to the advice. One or two people kept their comments to BRIEF, HELPFUL ONES without adding in a bunch of unnecessary criticism. I always intended to follow their advice after I responded to the garbage, and then I did. With awesome results.
