Updates to the the KoboTouch driver configuration
In calibre v2.60, I have made major changes to the KoboTouch driver. These will be mainly visible in the configuration dialog. Unfortunately, these changes have broken the extended driver. I had discussed these changes with jgoguen and we had planned an updated to the driver. But, we have gotten the timing wrong. Kovid has been releasing calibre every two weeks recently, so I was expecting another week. But, the release timing is about having enough changes for it to be worthwhile, so I should have planned better.

Attached to this post a version of the extended driver that will work with calibre 2.60. It has the changes to make it work, but does not take full advantage of the changes in the configuration dialog. This will be here until jgoguen has a chance to make an official release.

Edit: There might be a problem with the driver configuration caused by using the incompatible versions. If you see an error opening the configuration of the extended driver after installing the attached version, please close calibre and delete the configuration file. This is in the calibre configuration directory and is called "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.py".
