Not being a nudge at all.

I was stuck on the "Please Wait" for 6 minutes before I reset the device with a paper clip. I was trying to log into my Kobo account through the wifi set up on the Kobo itself as it wouldn't let me get past the "Please log into your account" on the desktop. I assumed it was hung trying to access the account as I had been trying 5 times through the desktop to access my account.

My Kobo is a N905 (no letter).

Thanks for the reply!

Update 1:
trying again this morning, I can always roll back to the original firmware again. I thought about going back and reinstalling that last version that worked for me - as you sort of suggested

- but I am unsure how to get around the desktop plugin requirement.

Update 2:
it got past the log in screen on the desktop and is syncing my free Kobo books. It's weird that the "sideloaded" books I put on the device itself are still there, I thought the whole Kobo HD would be wiped.
