On the device in the directory ".kobo", there is a file called "affiliate.conf". This contains the company that is associated with your Kobo account. Usually this is related to how you first signed up and I assume they get a share of any books you buy from Kobo. Kobo control the firmware distribution based on this and some other things. They start with a few smaller, and possibly Canadian based affiliates, and gradually expand the distribution over a few weeks. Over the years, people have found which affiliate gets the firmware first, and geek1011 site uses these. If you edit the file above and change the affiliate to one of these, the device should update if there is firmware available.

I spoke too soon. I do understand that I have the second version of the H2O, Edition 2. But plugging the Kobo into my computer and opening up the file reveals only files of books that are loaded on the device. No ".kobo" directory nor any other folders not related to Calibre. Is my Mac hiding these files?
