That's an improvement!
Well, after getting sick of being left out of the upgrade loop, tonight I decided to download the v1.9 desktop client from Kobo (I had been using the Borders v1.8 client). After clicking sync 5 times, the update downloaded! I also noticed that unlike the Borders version, sync doesn't re-download all my books. Updates seem to be much quicker too. The only negative is that it wiped out all of my Borders books (about 2 dozen, mostly public domain (thank goodness), but about half a dozen were purchased. I guess I'll just have to sideload those (I refuse to use ADE anymore) after I've stripped them of their DRM. Or load the Borders client again and switch as needed (though not sure how healthy that may be for the database). Anyway...I'm glad to finally be part of the 1.9 group. Haven't used it much yet, but I do like the new wireless icon...(though the old one was certainly functional).

Makes me wonder though...why was the Borders version so slow and (apparently) buggy...was v.1.8 of the Kobo desktop that bad, or did Borders somehow kludge up the code when it was Branded with Borders?
