FYI:

There are two kinds of factory resets you can do on your Kobo.

The first is the one most people are familiar with. More->Settings->Device information->Factory reset

This type of reset KEEPS the current version of your firmware.

The other type of factory reset is done manually. With the power off you press and hold one of the page turn buttons then press power on. After about 30 seconds the kobo will boot to the way it really came from the factory with the original firmware that came with it.

This can be useful if you want to roll back to an earlier firmware version.
