That was me, but its reported a bit out of context - I was commenting that the wifi connection bug for any affiliate had not been fixed in the new firmware - it needs the wifi to be already connected for a sync not to go into an endless loop.

It seems to me that this could also happen in an Autosync - if the wifi is not already on it will go into this loop. Is the wifi being off the case for those having problems with Autosync? - I don't have the Autosync turned on as I like to control if/when to sync.

The Rakuten/rakutenbooks affiliate question was a different issue. With Rakuten the sync process met another error once connected and responded with an error message. Although it works for making the Pin lock available I suspect its not valid for syncing. rakutenbooks is no better than any other affiliate for syncing - it needs the wifi is turned on to work! - but it also makes the Pin utility available.

Personally I'm hoping for a new firmware very soon to fix the wifi connection/sync issue - it seems to me to be a major bug.
