Smile A New Beginning - Predicament!!

Hello folks,

Greetings!!

My long awaited Aura HD just arrived, and it "feels" perfect to me. Except, I can't seem to find a way to set-it-up. Oh, I've followed the instructions precisely but success eluded me, and here's my discovery:
  • The desktop app tries to download stuffs in the background
  • It doesn't let me know exactly what's going on behind those two rotating arrows
  • It must have failed to fetch the required updates

I had left my device plugged in to the computer (with direct internet access) for more than 15 hours now. I am a very patient guy, but when I found the kobo desktop app with those infinitely rotating arrows (still), it made me think.

Have I done anything wrong? The following checks were performed:
  • Internet connection: works
  • Antivirus: is disabled
  • Charge on the device: no indication but 15 plus hours into the USB port must have charged the device

I don't have Wi-fi to try alternative set-up, therefore - I'm left clueless!!

Someone please tell me, tell me that there is a way to set-up the device without the kobo desktop app or any internet connection or both.
