G'day all
A bit of news for anyone interested.
I ordered by black Kobo online from Borders' web site 11 July, it arrived today.
Unpacked and powered the beastie up. Connect to a Doze (W7) PC and it immediately took me through an 8 step, graphically rich, firmware 1.4 update process. There was even a little tour of what I could expect from the update before I started the process. Noice.
Given the pain previous shared on this forum I was a bit nervous (despite 20+ years in ICT) but it was all silky smooth. Robooted and hey, presto. All good
The Borders desktop app refused to run post-upgrade but I just removed the app via ControlPanel and resintalled. So far so good.
I'm now contemplating pushing my luck and ordering an eBook from Borders and see what happens...
Cheers
Stevo
