Well, I removed the free books that come with the Kobo using an SQL database editor. The device seems to be working fine thus far.

I have not checked if resetting to factory defaults will restore them or not.

It took longer to manually remove them than I had hoped. Of course, that may be due to the fact that I have never worked with SQL, nor databases, before. It seemed to be an interesting method of storing their ebooks in the SQL database instead of as seperate files. If one had the know-how, I would imagine they could code or script something to automate the task of removing the unwanted books.

I had hoped to find some clue as to why fonts do not resize in Calibre-converted ePubs, but have thus far had no luck.

Anyone else discover anything interesting?
