Sorry, getting this message a little late and it probably does not matter anymore as the release is public, but here is what they sent me:


[Link deleted - MODERATOR]

2.Connect your Kobo Touch to your computer and choose "Connect" on the screen.

3.The device should show "Connected and Charging".

4.Unzip the contents of the downloaded file. There should be the following items:
a.KoboRoot.tgz
b.manifest.md5sum
c.upgrade (folder)

5.Do not unzip any other files.

6.Copy these 2 files and folder to your device's .kobo folder (note the leading period)
a.To navigate to this folder on Mac: ⌘+SHIFT+G and type /Volumes/KOBOeReader/.kobo/
b.To navigate to this folder on Windows: ### Open My Computer and choose the drive your device is connected to. ### In the menu open Folder and Search Options### Choose the View tab### Under "Hidden files and folders" click on "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"### Hit OK### The .kobo folder should now be visible

7.Safely eject the device from your computer

8.The device should recognize the upgrade package and display the upgrading screens

9.You should then see the home screen and the upgrade process is complete

Sincerely,
The Kobo Team
