I didn't mean to imply that patch program was necessary, it is just one of the programs I use. You can update the firmware either via wi-fi direct from the device, or manually via a USB connection. If you choose to patch then that is a seperate operation from updating the firmware.

The Kobo desktop program can also update the firmware, but even if you didn't have wi-fi there would be no need to use it for that, because it is very easy to do manually just by downloading the firmware from Kobo and copying it to the right place on the ereader.
