If you've got the document on your computer, save it as .rtf before loading it on your eReader. RTF documents will work fine on your kobo. PDF is less desirable, because ereader screens are too small...

If it's any help, I'm running 1.9.17, and I have no trouble connecting to my Wireless-N 150 Router, using WPA2-PSK. I have some text files I look at too, and they display properly with no problems.
