I resynced twice, loaded the new firmware twice by forcing on and reloaded desktop software but nothing worked. ADE still was working.
I contacted KOBO help online and got a response to factory reset within two days. This did work. I resynced my KOBO (ADE DRM) purchased books. re authorized the reader on ADE, loaded other books purchased through Sony (ADE DRM) and also some epubs (no DRM) and purchased a new KOBO book. All seems to be working now. Having to do a factory reset to load new firmware is a real pain even if the upgrade process is an improvement over 1.4

I also upgraded to 1.8.3 and now my Kobo is dead and the Kobo Desktop App. doesn't even recognize it. There is no Sync. or Eject button. No, it is not a faulty cable. My Kobo screen is totally blank. Only the red light comes on. Kobo Help Desk has been useless - no suggestions or help at all once we got past their telling me to check the FAQ. I am really upset. I had faith in Kobo and preordered and they have left me hanging now for four days.
