The beauty of this site, in my experience (mostly with the Kobo subforums), is the willingness of very knowledgeable people to walk you through any issues, and any tweaks you want to do. It can be confusing at first, but following instructions step by step will get you there.

Thank you, Meeera for your words of encouragement. We managed to get my reader after a bit of excitement in the traffic of the big smoke, being hicks from the sticks. I thought about checking it before I left the shop, however, I was so stirred up that I figured that we could face the traffic once again if I had a problem.
It works really well, in my opinion, I think it's perfect. Easy to use, turns pages well, battery life appears ok, bearing in mind that I have been downloading books. No funny colours, no light spots, I am happy. But then you have to
remember that I only have an old Sony for comparison.
I had no trouble downloading books I had purchased from Kobo and the books I had purchased from a couple of other sources, that Kobo took over. My problem is other purchased books where the sites have gone out of business. These books are all on the Sony reader library, but when I try to transfer them they come up with Annot ePub and they don't transfer over. I will have to wait for my son-in-law to visit and see if he can do any good.
I believe it is possible but I can't do it and don't have any friends with ereaders who know how to do it either. When we all get together, it's the blind leading the blind. :thanks. 😀
