Hi everyone,

First of all, sorry if what I'm about to ask is answered somewhere here, but I couldn't find a solution for my problem.

I just offered my SO a Kobo Clara HD and we're facing an issue with the off screen, where it shows a watermark of the retailer I bought the device from (Fnac). Our issues are that this must be unnecessarily consuming some amount of battery, since the screen isn't completely turned off, and it's free advertising on something she owns, which also doesn't sit well with us.

Is there a way to remove this? Would a firmware update fix this feature or is this locked to the device? Can I reinstall the entire thing with vanilla OS?

Current software version is: 4.21.15023

Thanks in advance!
