If it's an issue with space, too many books to fit on the KT's internal memory there is a way to upgrade the KT's internal mem IF it's a micro SD card. I've done this with my Glo which now has 16G internal mem and combined with Calibre I never use the external Micro SD card slot anymore. With Calibre's easy Shelf (now Collections) creation all my past reasons for sticking my books all on the SD card are moot.
Just some additional and I make note that I might have missed something in previous posts but to get to v2.4:
KT = Kobo Touch
1) downgrade to 1.9.6 (factory reset the KT)
2) do the setup via the Kobo Desktop software
3) Once the Kobo Desktop software is finished doing all it needs to do...
do NOT unplug/eject the KT
Browse to the .kobo folder and delete the "KoboRoot.tgz" file
unplug the KT and make sure it is set up and working, check the firmware version, you should still be on 1.9.6
If you are indeed on 1.9.6, plug it back in and place the firmware for 2.4 in the .kobo folder
eject & unplug the KT
let it update
If all has gone well you should now be on 2.4
It might also be a good idea to make sure you have a fresh copy of the 2.4.0 firmware to try this with.

Just so I'm clear, because I like to get things absolutely understood before I would attempt ANYTHING, I roll back to 1.9.6, attach to Kobo Desktop, let it download the update to whatever fresh Hell they have released, remove ONLY the "KoboRoot.tgz" from the Kobo - NOT ADDING ANYTHING (caps to add emphasis, not shouting), just deleting that file. I then eject the Kobo from the laptop, still without a "KoboRoot.tgz" file installed. The Kobo should process or turn on or whatever with 1.9.6 still as it's firmware. I then, reattach the Kobo to the laptop and bring over the "KoboRoot.tgz" file from the zipped 2.4.0 file as well as the "Updates folder" and that other file of which the name escapes me. Or are there more files to drag over?
I have the zip file from the downloads available here, so I'm going to assume that would be okay.
I still have my eye on the database editor.
Now I'm really gone for a few days.
