Hi davidfor,

I'm not sure if you saw post #2, where I mentioned that it is now fixed.

I suspect that the program hardcodes the path, starting with '/Users'. I am running an old version of Lubuntu, and there is no '/Users' directory. So here's what I did:

sudo ln -s /home /Users
mkdir -p $HOME/Documents/KoboBackups

So, while my setup now works, I think that the program should use $HOME instead of a hardcoded '/Users/<username>'
