Even my Kobo desktop wouldn't download the upgrade. After I read your post I tried. I really wanted to get my Kobo fully upgraded, I paid for it, it should work the way it's supposed to, right?! So, I started from scratch, uninstalled Kobo desktop, Calibre, etc. Restarted from scratch.
1] Installed Kobo desktop, found my purchases, etc, downloaded 1.9.17
2] Plugged in Kobo Touch, downloaded 1.9.17, added library
3] Library didn't show up
4] Uninstalled library, tried re-loading, it worked this time, and did all 200+ books in one go.
5] Read my book for about an hour. Double page turns still happening, but not as often.
6] Time is off [about half hour], annoying, but, ok
7] Wanted to add a couple of new books, added 1, fine, went to add 3 more, got the #$%^& 'Get Disk Free Space' error. AGAIN Details below.

This is getting frustrating beyond belief. Why once the library is built [200+ at a time], will it not accept more than ONE change at a time? It will be a PITA but is the easiest solution really to add one book at a time?

Also, to anybody who has/had both Touch and Vox, is the Vox any better? My g/f got one and had to return it, she never even got to read one book on it, it wouldn't work for her at all. Maybe I'll just go back to the first Kobo and be done with it...

Oh, and here's error details...AGAIN

(2, 'GetDiskFreeSpace', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')
