OK, I took the KoboRoot.tgz for 2.0 that I downloaded, and ran it through gunzip. Now the file size is 62,043,413 just as you say, but it's called KoboRoot.tar. There seems to be something very fishy going on with these files. You decompress it and it gets smaller.

I'm really afraid of turning this thing into a brick trying to upgrade it. It seems a factory reset ought to recover from that, but there's apparently no way to do a factory reset unless you can get to the menu. No menu, no reset. (The regular Kobo WiFi does a factory reset from the menu but also if you hold down "menu" while turning the power on. Tried that, but no result with Literati.)
