I don't patch, so I'm not going to do it, I thought you would

But, what do you mean by "doesn't have the version"? I can see two strings:

Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; en-us;) AppleWebKit/%1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/%1 (Kobo Touch)

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.0; en-us;) AppleWebKit/%1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/%1 (Kobo Touch %2/%3)
The latter is what is what I see when I use a user agent reporting site.
