Part of it, yes. At least you have the reader application and configurations, which fix all the issues with pdf's not zooming correctly and epubs not jumping to the last page. I believe those are the features you are after and those are in the KoboRoot.tgz.

I highly suggest that you go to the first page in this thread and download the kobo firmware 2.3.2 zip file. If you open that, you will find the KoboRoot.tgz image. From your post I connot discern which KoboRoot is from which firmware version. If that last 68MB file is from that firmware update, then of course you can skip that step.

To actually do the update connect your Kobo to the PC via USB.

Create a backup of that drive. Copy all contents from the kobo into a directory on your computer. The backup may erase your kobo DB, making it look as if all your ebooks are gone.

When you open the Kobo drive in the explorer, you should see a .kobo directory. Copy-Paste the KoboRoot.tgz file from the 2.3.2 firmware zip file into that .kobo directory. Eject your Kobo and disconnect it from the USB.

The Kobo should recognize the update automatically and show you the "updating" image. After it is done, it will restart. Then you have firmware version 2.3.2.

If you are suddenly missing your ebooks after that, open your backup folder and locate the file "KoboReader.sqlite" in the .kobo folder. Copy that file back onto the .kobo folder of your device and you will have your ebook database back.
