This is my first message, having just joined. I read this string with great interest because I ordered a Kobo Touch from Borders.com, was told it was on its way on 11 July and then was concerned because the address showed only AU rather than Australia. When I queried this I simply got stock standard responses on the time it takes to come, but DHL here in Melbourne told me that AU is their code for Australia, so I'm hoping it does indeed arrive safely.

It is my first e-reader, as well as my first attempt to order something from the US, so I'm really pleased to have found this forum.

I see from another that some people are having problems uploading from Calibre, where I have been storing some books getting ready for the arrival of my Kobo. Can anyone advise if it is better simply to download books from the Mobile Read site onto the computer and then drag them into the Kobo?

Thanks for any advice you can give to a "new chum".
