yes.
I remember that with the old sony readers, the was a ( usually out of date) installer on some special partition that popped up when you first made a wired connect.
The Kobo Libra arrived this morning, and wi-fi set up was quick and painless, I used sign in with Google to make a new account, then switched to aeroplane mode. Before that, the Kobo found and installed one firmware update, which took a couple of minutes and a single restart.
...but when I connected it to calibre I got a fail message about firmware database version unsupported ( which I recall reading about). I had calibre 4.3 I think. I updated to 4.6 and the message went away though there is no mention in the calibre 4 series release notes?
Then I got the standard
drive may be corrupted message from windows 10 on the 2nd connect. I let it fix it ( as I am within warranty so why not) and as expected it said no errors found
So I am all good and I doubt I will ever bother to go get the desktop installer
Instead I am looking at covers, but that's for another thread. The Libra seems amazingly light, maybe because I am used to using tablets.
All seems to be working ok and I am successfully coping without bothering to read the instructions
.
I had calibre sideload 3 books which I will use to tweak other settings as I read...
