I do have the new "wishlist", and everything else is just fine.

Tech support recommended a factory reset, which I guess is the only way to go. But that's not a happy thought, considering the time and effort I've put into setting it up the way I like it. I also cannot imagine how a basic feature of the software functionality could be missing at birth, so to speak.
Weird that it isn't showing up from a Chapters purchased device. The only thing you might want to do is check your affiliate config setting and make sure it's "Chapters" or "Kobo" or "Bestbuyca" (basically any of the affiliates from area's where OD is available). If it has "Rakuten" IIRC it assumes Japanese and doesn't show OD since it's not available there.
