If the desktop app downloaded 2.31, you will see a KoboRoot.tgz file that is 69,113,998 bytes if you have an older Touch (the kobo3 firmware). If the file is 86,388,351 bytes, you have a new Touch and need the kobo4 (Glo, Mini, new Touch firmware). If the file size is 69,116,850 (old Touch, kobo3) or 86,386,151 (new Touch, kobo4), your Kobo is being updated with 2.4.0 and you can save the information for the next firmware update. In less exact terms, if KoboRoot.tgz file is smaller than 70MB, you have an old Touch, if KoboRoot.tgz is larger than 80MB, you have a new Touch. You can then replace the KoboRoot.tgz, manifest.md5sum and the upgrade folder with the versions from the firmware you want to use before ejecting the Kobo and letting the upgrade run. As I said, a slightly complex procedure but the only way I know to be certain that you have the correct firmware version without access to Kobo's servers. Regards, David |

There should be a solitaire game in 2.5.0. Can anyone confirm what it's like?
