I just purchased the original Kobo (the one prior to the Kobo Wifi). I don't think it's firmware was ever updated.

I installed the Kobo desktop software for Mac and it synced the libraries (though nothing showed up, but I think that's because I haven't authorised the device with ADE yet). It also prompted me to update the firmware to v1.8. I followed the steps in doing so, right up to putting it in upgrade mode. When I held down the two buttons in question it did seem to enter upgrade mode (the screen blanked and the power light became red).

Either it didn't say what to do afterward, or I missed it saying what to do. It's now happily sitting in upgrade mode, but plugging it back in does nothing. Any thoughts on how I should proceed? Any help gratefully appreciated.
