Anyone in the US been able to upgrade the firmware through syncing yet? This is a little frustrating as I'm used to just downloading the file off B+N's site for my nook's firmware.

We were told by SammerH that the update would be rolled out to a larger community this week, but be aware that this is a holiday in Ontario which is where Kobo's head office is located.

ascm question
Hello,
I from Brasil, and upgrade to 2.4.0 by sideloading koboRoot.tgz and works fine. I have no problems so far. I have one question: in Settings, accounts there is a section "ADOBE AUTHORIZATION" with "not logged in". This is a new section? That´s means is possible to use ascm files directly from kobo? I don´t remember this section on 2.3.1/2 thank you and sorry for my bad english. |

I wouldn't count on invert colour to happen in a future firmware. There has been no indication that it is coming, so it might show up, but don't buy it based on possibility of it coming. |

I assume that you mean being able directly download an ascm file to the Kobo (rather than loading it via ADE)? If that's what you're wondering, no, you still need to use ADE on a computer to load those books onto your device. |

I have the same thing with the 2.3.1 firmware (and actually I don't know how to authorize the device through WIFI but DRMed Kepub work fine).

You can only authorize the device via desktop ADE. Even after that, you can't download books directly, but have to process the ACSM file on desktop ADE and then transfer it to the Kobo via ADE.

However, as I posted earlier, I have not been able to complete a sync ever since. It seems to be downloading everything correctly (haven't compared books marks on iPhone/iPad to confirm it uploads correctly) but the sync just keeps running while "loading content". The reset button on the back did not help so last night I left it syncing with 51% charge on the battery. When I woke up the screeen said it needed to recharge and was completely dead. As soon as I could I checked the drop down from the home screen and it still read last update 2-14-13 12:57am. Previously, it also said network error when I let it run the sync so maybe it's my 4 (5?) year old wifi router having seen better days. I'll try it again tomorrow from work with a full charge (or plugged into my pc) but if it still doesn't complete I pretty much have to conclude it's a f/w bug. |

On the other hand, the latter does not explain why it's always stuck on "loading content." So really all I can say is: it's not your router |

Just a friendly reminder. While sideloading a new update package might work just fine when you do it, sometimes it will not work and might result in undesirable behaviour. I recommend waiting for the update to be made available to your unit.
Sideload new updates at your own risk |

(under the section: Using an eReader with ADE) http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...estingId=43373 In my case, I'd installed ADE using winetricks and the basic way didn't work, but I followed the advice of Carl Hage (1st comment in the comments below) and that worked for me....which for the same reasons made me extremely happy. I don't know much about other versions of linux, but considering it's probably the same reason that it can't find it mounted...you could always try a similar thing. Oh, and after that process, always be sure you plug in your kobo before opening ADE...it finds it if you do that, but iirc, it doesn't find it if you plug it in AFTER you've started ADE. So I dl the library book, close ADE plug in my reader and reopen ADE. Though obviously plugging in your reader first off would also work...I just never think to. |

I know it's a really small thing to have to touch the screen when you open the cover but it is a very annoying bug when you don't do it and have to turn it back on. Think about it. If you don't have a sleep cover it takes 1 step to turn it on(use the power switch). If you have the sleep cover it takes 2 steps (open cover and touch the screen to prevent sleep). Why would anyone want to get a sleep cover in this case? |
