More weirdness.

Now that I have a 1.9.11 Touch, I deleted most of the files off the device, as there is no sense in having the upgrade update a bunch of advertising files.

Brought up the Kobo 3.0 desktop (the one just released).

Plugged the USB in to the Touch.

After setting up the account in the Touch, it started to install the 1.9.17 release. It downloaded it and installed it.

And the 1.9.17 release very nicely displays an Updating screen, so you know what it is doing. I guess they forgot about this nice feature in 2.0.0.

And finally, I have a working v1.9.17 Touch.
