I have a Kobo original that was working just fine and when I recently connected to my desktop to download new books for an upcoming trip, I had a pop-up to update my desktop app. I mistakenly did so. The new app gives me an error message that it will not work with my current operating system (Mac OS 10.5.8). I know I have an older system but it works well for me and I will loose lots of software if I update to a new Mac OS. But in the process of updating the Kobo ware I have lost the functionality of my Kobo ereader. Is there any way to get the OLDER Kobo desktop app back or to download it anywhere? I contacted Kobo customer service and more or less got a "too bad, so sad" response. Do I now own a electronic piece of junk? Thanks for any help you can offer.
