I received my new Kobo Touch yesterday, and thought that it might be useful to some people if I related my first experiences with it.

I bought the item unused from an excellent seller on ebay, who very kindly made sure that I received it quickly, since I am going on holiday next week. When I opened the box, this is what I found inside (see PICT4158.JPG below):

- Kobo Touch in white with silver back
- usb cable (which I was pleasantly surprised to find has the same connector as my phone, so one less cable to carry around with me!)
- A very simple "Get Started" sheet
- The usual certification documents for the wifi, etc.

Switching it on showed a nice, clean homepage (PICT4159.JPG below), so I went into "Settings" (PICT4160.JPG), and then "Device Information" (PICT4161.JPG) to find that it was factory pre-loaded with firmware 1.9.12, suggesting that the reader was manufactured in late 2011/early 2012, a surmise backed up by the date pre-set to 28 Feb 2012 (PICT4162.JPG).
