Why do I always find these threads when they are long dead? Well, better late than never.

At least on my device, there is no folder .kobo/kobo/ anymore - now it's .kobo/Borders Desktop/
And a file called "Borders Desktop eReader.conf" which replaces the kobo.conf .

It still works, though, just tried mobile.wikipedia.org .

All you need to replace is the WebstoreURL, like this:
WebstoreURL=http://mobile.wikipedia.org/?

then use the shop button and select "home" .

There's also settings for Poker and Blackjack, but I think these are only used when you start them the first time, if at all.

[edit]Damnation, it's not working anymore. I KNOW it worked yesterday.
