KReader firmware information
Sorry Kobo, your website ain't up to snuff. I can't find anywhere more detailed information about the firmware on my KReader (currently: 1.9.10 (r32284 of 08 Sep 2011)), like a changelog, previous versions etc. Is it hidden so deep I can't find it or doesn't it exist?

Welcome to the board. Did you check on your device? In settings, under device information, you will see a "view" field to click for release notes. I have owned my Kobo Touch for awhile, so I have release notes for 11 builds there. Every time Kobo delivers a firmware release, you will get one of them.
Also, Kobo staff do not have an official role on the MR board. If you want to rag on them, you may have more success on the official Kobo help board at https://getsatisfaction.com/kobo. |

So, had you not used it in the 10 months since the update was released? When the updates are released, the change log is posted here, on Get Satisfaction, and often on the Kobo blog. You may wish to google for it.
I took 30 seconds and found several posts and threads about 1.9. Here is one of them: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...80&postcount=3 Last edited by taming; 09-13-2012 at 08:06 PM. |

Weird. My wife has the same one and it's only 1.9 and no update was found. Oh well she'll never know the difference.

Well, I was a little shirty with you. Any searches, including for books, is not always as easy as it could be on the Kobo websites. I used google to search for it--knowing that we were reaching very much back in time. MR posts show up in the search engines as well.
You may want to refer to your device as the Kobo WiFi. That seems to be the convention . It will make getting support easier, here and elsewhere. My husband loves his Kobo WiFi --has no interest in moving to the Touch or one of the new ones coming out. I knew that at some point it wouldn't be part of the "official" line-up, but it's a great reader. He has never had to do a factory reset, just reads on it daily without any problems at all. |
