I'm rather new to linux so I could use some help with this.

It might work just to double-click on the 3.19.5761.sh script from the desktop, that works on my desktop (Gnome running on Debian Wheezy), but it might not work on all desktops and the problem is that if there is an error you won't see the error messages. The instructions for running from the command line should work on all Linux setups.
Somewhere there will be an application called Terminal or Term or Shell or something like that, probably with a picture of a box with a command prompt inside. Run that to open the command-line terminal.
In the command-line terminal, to change directory use the cd command. You need to enter the path to the place you unzipped the patch_kobo_3.19.5761.zip, if that was in your home directory then just type:
Code:
cd ~/patch_kobo_3195761
(Edit: ~ is a way to refer to your home directory. E.g. my home directory is /home/geoff so instead of typing cd /home/geoff/patch_kobo_3196761 I just type ~/patch_kobo_3195761)
Then to run the 3.19.5761.sh from the command line, just type:
(Edit: . refers to the current directory. In Linux for the command-line shell does not normally look in the current directory for programs, so you have to specify it explicitly as ./3.19.5761.sh instead of just typing 3.19.5761.sh)
