Affiliate in Canada: Kobo vs KoboIndigo
I note that on my new Kobo Clara HD, the value set in affiliate.conf is:

affiliate=KoboIndigo

I believe in my older devices, also bought from Indigo in Canada, the affiliate was set to just:

affiliate=Kobo

Is there any significance to this change? Things I can/can't access that I couldn't/could before? Thanks!

On devices I purchased from Indigo (actually, Chapters), the affiliate out of the box was KoboIndigo while devices directly from Kobo has Kobo as the affiliate.

As far as I can tell, the only difference is that for official firmware releases, KoboIndigo tends to get new firmware after Kobo.
