Hello everyone,
if I decide to take advantage of
this great offer (30€ put on one's reward account if a Kobo ereader is bought by August 30th), I will find myself in a situation with a Linux computer and no WIFI to set up the device. I may be able to access some hotspot, but only the ones were one needs to fill in a login and a password in order to get access. I believe that kind of connection won't work with a set up process.
I think that I can sideload the newest firmware (I'm thinking Glo HD here), but can I force manually the references to my Kobo account?
So far, I'm putting several books on my Mini and when I visit my parents I sync everything. I will be able to do the same thing with a new ereader, but I won't be at my parents' in a while.
Is there a working version of the Linux version of the Kobo desktop? I'm using (x)ubuntu 15.04.
Thanks in advance
