There seems to be sort of blockade of upper firmwares.

At least it now works again properly, but I feel a little left behind concerning newer evolutions. But, on the other hand, there is, at each possible update, the fear of similar experiences as I had with 2.6.1. Echos of existentialism!
I haven't tried on the new Touches (model N905C) but so far the older Touch models that previously updated to 2.6.1 will not automatically update past 2.5.2 after a factory reset. I suspect that when Kobo rushed out the 2.6.1b update for the Glo/Aura/Mini/Touch C, they decided to not rush out the update for the older Touch models.

Also at this time, I haven't seen any reports that anyone has received the 2.8.1 update for any device other than a Glo. And the reports of updates have been scattered around the world -- several European forums have had reports of Glos that updated to 2.8.1. Admittedly, my non-English languages aren't that great so I could be mistaken.

David
