I've had the Clara HD for a few years (3?) and I have a love/hate relationship with it. Love the device, hate the fiddley software/hardware operations.

All my books are side-loaded, and I swear the device used to work when, under Settings, I was "signed out" of my Kobo account. After a recent database-destroying restart and subsequent re-setup of the device, I have tried a couple times to sign out of the account, but each time it jumps all the way back to my having to re-setup the device.

My question, then, is a simple one: Should I be able to run the ereader without signing in to my Kobo account? If so, what's the right combination for getting to that state?

Thanks for any advice.
