A quick search for 'davidfor affiliate.conf site:mobileread.com' came up with a good hit for his suggestion to change the LastAffiliateSyncTime to a future data. See this thread FNAC affiliation reset on newer firmware (4.23.15548, maybe before) specifically message #43 in the thread.

Makes me wonder now what will happen to my Walmart-branded Clara HD after the affiliate partnership officially ends. Right now it still shows the Walmart splash screen (because I never bothered to change it). I wonder if Kobo will leave it indefinitely, or if they'll push out a firmware update that removes it from the affiliate.conf.
