I understand you can't borrow an Overdrive book on a Kobo Mini. But I've tried Overdrive on the Aura 2 and it "opens the gate" for the other Kobos (you simply sync and it downloads the library book automatically to non-Overdrive enabled readers). But not to the Mini (even though it will download other books from the Kobo Store). Is this because the Mini is stuck at a firmware release that is too old, or is there some other blocking mechanism at work here? This might be one reason to upgrade the Mini to the newest release.

Thanks for any info.
