Now that it all works I'm very pleased with the update. Faster response times, indefinite sleep mode etc etc. Doubt I'll ever update it again though.

Ah cool, thanks.

PeterT: I'm exhausted after this morning's ordeal, and frankly I'm scared it'll break again. Maybe another time when I'm in a very good mood.

.tgz from here (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-111475.html) worked, but it's not the Borders version so I assume I won't be able to read purchased books locally.

I'm so fidgety that I can't stand ticking or flashing clocks, but this black flash doesn't bother me at all. I've only had the Kobo a week and I don't even notice it now.

Got a Kobo today for the standard AU$200. Thanks for your advice, sabredog.

I can't report on it because it's still charging. Setting the time and date was nice, though.
