I apologize if this is covered elsewhere but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. This may be a stupid question but how do you upgrade the firmware without going through the Kobo desktop? I don't want to sync with each update because we have 2 Kobos (both Touch) in the house, using the same account, but with different books so the sync function will always mess up one of our libraries. Does the Kobo automatically look for upgrades on a regular basis or is it only triggered by doing a sync? If a sync is not required, could someone walk me through what I have to do? So far, I have only managed to upgrade via sync.
