I assumed they meant PM, and I decided everyone else would also make that logical assumption.

if it is a firmware update it will probably be some significant enhanced features since it warranted a blog post with date and time.

i dunno, but i'll definitely be checking back at 230.
While I agree they usually just post something on the forum for firmware updates, I was thinking that since we're all kind of expecting big things for 2.0 that it might be that! Still keeping my fingers crossed...and they're getting kinda cramped...come on 2:30!

Is this it...

Kobo™ announces new social eReading features on Facebook at f8 developer conference

SAN FRANCISCO, TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2011 /CNW/ - Today at f8, Facebook's developer conference, Kobo, a global leader in eReading with over 4.9 million users worldwide, is discussing the next advancement in social eReading that will provide people with the ability to engage in conversations with each other while reading, as well as a Facebook integration that makes it easier for people to feature their eReading activity on their Facebook profile.

"Kobo will soon launch a revolutionary advancement in social eReading, and this news will change the nature of how and what we read," said Dan Leibu, chief technology officer, Kobo. "Our extremely popular Kobo Reading Life app was the first social platform to deliver interaction to eReading. Kobo is committed to staying on the cutting-edge of social eReading to realize our mission of inspiring more people to read by allowing them to share thoughts, insights and experiences."

While I doubt its the excitement most of us were hoping for, its actually a very nice addition to the eReading world, and should get a different group of people excited about Kobo and eReading in general.

That's it???????? Wow talk about a disappointment. I've been waiting for the functionality of the Kobo Apps on my KT since I bought it. I was pretty surprised when I got my KT and found out that the apps had more features than the actual device. Thought we were finally getting it.

Didn't Sameer say the majority of Kobo owners are over the age of 50? How many are on facebook?

Call me bitter, but maybe getting their device to sync to ios, handle endnotes in a less glacial wayand a search feature and multiple bookmarks would be a better start...
