Folks
I"m annoyed with the lack of technical information on the
http://koboereader.com website.
1) There is no information on what the current firmware version that is available for download and nothing that tells you how you can install it. I had to ask a friend who told me I had to run the desktop sync app which would automatically do the upgrade. So now I'm on 1.9.
2) Supposedly this mobileread.com website is the semi official support forum. Nothing on the koboereader.com website which indicates this. Now don't get me wrong. This forum looks like it has a lot of reasonably competent activity but why not put a link on the main website? When doing searches it can be hard to determine which is a good forum to poke about in to try to find decent answers.
Note that I really like the Kobo ereader and use it a lot. It'll be interesting to see the battery life over many charge/discharge cycles.
