There are two sets of criteria on which device gets which firmware:
- The devices/locales that Kobo will automatically upgrade the firmware
- The devices/locales that a firmware version will work on
In the Direct Links to Kobo Firmware thread, I try to present both sets of information.
However, it is always good to be careful about sideloading firmware. Only do so if you need the features in a particular release, and only do so if you are clear on the instructions. You should also read the threads on the particular releases.
Beware though, there is a risk: it is always possible to brick your device if you don't follow the instructions properly. Or if the release is harmful to your device.
