Firmware updating question
Hi All,

As some may have seen on other threads I am looking for a second reader. The Kobo is one of the readers I am considering. Where my question lies is; How does one update the firmware if they do not have a Windows/OSX machine? I ask as I am a Linux-only user.

I'm not particularly inclined to repartition my machine to install Windows just to perform a firmware update. Have Kobo made a .bin available to update via SD?

Now being an Aussies, and hypothetically say I am forced to find a Windows machine. Can I use either the A&R app or Borders app for the firmware update? Is the firmware unique in anyway to either store? What if I used the offical Kobo app and later installed the Borders app to sync up purchased books, work?
