If you update your device before the desktop has been updated for your reseller, your device is still usable on its own for the books it has on it, but syncing won't work until the new desktop is released for that reseller (so it's not really breaking, just temporarily unusable).

The tarballs the resellers have been distributing for 1.4 are not a binary match. I've got them all.
"Temporarily unusable" is broke by any kobo user's definition. That's why it's important to be clear to Borders, Whitcoulls, ANR users they need to wait.
