Kobo Touch not detected in debug device detection

[neil.brewster]

I have a new Kobo Touch.

When I connect it, it shows up in Windows Explorer. The Kobo Desktop application can see it (but, that application hangs when I try to sync my books to it!).

I have done a hard reset (paperclip) on the Kobo Touch, but it did not help. I've also rebooted my computer.

Here is the debug output from calibre:

Update to calibre 0.8.5 which has preliminary support for the Kobo Touch.

[neil.brewster]

ha! ok, thanks. I it was just released - just prior to posting I checked and 0.84 was the latest.

I've also done a factory reset on my kobo, because even the kobo software was not working.
