The reader arrived this afternoon. I waited till writing my nano quota before opening the box. That was done about an hour ago. I've spent the hour trying to sign in to the Kobo site.
Going back a bit. After switching on the reader, it wanted me to set up the thing. I was glad to see that it gave the option to do this without wifi and told me to link it to my computer via usb, which I did, then download Kobo Desktop, which I did.
Then the trouble started! Trying to set up an account with Kobo was almost impossible. I gave them my email and selected a password. But they wouldn't accept them, for some unknown reason, so I tried using my facebook account. They wanted the password for this. It's been so long since I've needed to use that that I hadn't a clue what it was, so had to set up a new facebook password!
Now that I've successfully created a Kobo account, bought a free book and one for a few pence (to try it out), I'm being told by Kobo Desktop that:
Wait! You must set up your eReader before syncing.
Your ereader must be set up with an account before completing the sync. Please set up your ereader with the account (email address) if you would like to sync it with the current library on Kobo Desktop.
I thought that was what I just spent an hour doing!
The ereader's screen is black and is still telling me to download the Kobo Desktop, which I've done.
Seems like this has to be done using wifi, unfortunately, the friend who said I could use his wifi is out tonight.
Botherations!!!
