This used to go quickly before I updated to the new firmware, but now it's been going for 55 minutes. The little Sync icon keeps spinning, but I don't know what else is happening. I don't annotate my books, so what could it be updating? OK, it could be checking the Finished/Reading % status of the books, but I have fewer than 200 books so this shouldn't take that long. Is this length of time normal?

Thanks for any help. It's now been over an hour.
I'd suggest downloading the latest version of the Kobo desktop app, uninstalling the current version and ensuring that all related directories are deleted and then installing the new version. I've had several oddities such as my library not showing any of my books though they synced to my ereader while the desktop app was stuck on the recommendation "are you interested" screen. My personal feeling is that Kobo should take a lesson from other bits of software such as Wireshark and VLC that uninstall the older version before installing the new version.

Regards,
David
