I just installed Kobo Desktop on a new computer that hasn't had Kobo Desktop on it so far, specifying my existing Kobo account. It downloaded my Kobo bookstore ebooks, downloaded "dictionaries" for a couple of minutes, then downloaded a firmware update. Then I connected my KT (which was on 2.0.0), and it uploaded firmware. After restart, I found the KT was updated to 2.1.4. No sign of 2.1.5.
A few observations about the latest Kobo Desktop from this process:
1. It automatically installs to a fixed folder name on the C: drive without giving any option. I didn't want it on my SSD. Bad Kobo!
2. Configurability hasn't improved: the only program preference setting available is Language
3. It apparently linked to my account successfully, and I saw it downloading my purchased Kobo ebooks by title during initial sync, but the Kobo Desktop Library reports "empty". ??
