You didn't seem to care about theft when you copied "EVERTHING" from one kobo to the other, with the intention of bypassing the Sync requirement.
All of a sudden you've become holier than thou?
As for your WiFi fixing the issue and also paying the license fee, Thats another assumption as you already stated you don't know what exactly is happening behind the scenes.
For all you know your nebo application could be working from your other devices token, which is likely the case.
I'm 17 years into C++ and currently work for Zurich bank, but I don't need to mention it with the condescending intentions of trying to steer everybody from the endeavour of bypassing nebo/sync.
BTW, are you going to contact Kobo to ensure the royalty fees to nebo are paid?
I doubt very much you will.
Im going to buy another Kobo, and im going to sync it via wifi and monitor all the changes, once ive done this im going to intentionally break it via applying over-voltage directly to the PCB, then im going to return it for my money back.
When I was sold the device, it didn't state on the front "A WIFI CONNECTION IS NEEDED TO USE THIS DEVICE"
If you dont like this, I couldn't care less, Kobo got one up on me via mis-advertising their product, im going to get them back.
Once ive achieved sideloading, I will report back for the benefit of the community.
