That does sound like a great way to do it, but it looks like there is an issue getting it to work on Kobos. I noticed that there were both Kindle and Kobo versions on the OTA Server site. Perhaps the selection between Kobo and Kindle download files is having problems? It seems like it is very early in the update process that things end. Some feedback as it completes the stages of the process might help.
