Not sure if I would refer to changing configuration file options as patching.

Those are settings you have to know about and you have to manually add them. Most Kobo users won't know about the hidden configuration options.

I was talking about using a stock firmware with no patches and no hidden features.

I think he means this:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=330070

The behavior of a Kobo can be changed in some ways, of course nothing is official but they are kindly provided by some forum members. What a patch can do is written in the commented lines of the patch files.

I would also consider editing the conf file, as suggested previously, a patch, although technically many probably would not.

Editing the config file is not patching. I could just be removing some cruft or changing one of the existing settings.

Yes, he covers .conf file edits by "and no hidden features". Indeed that's not patching.

Most Kobo users don't know of the hidden features. Just as most Kindle users don't know about jailbreaking.
