Hi all,

I've only just noticed that Calibre 6 has dropped compatibility for Windows 8 (or just support? Is it possible to make it work?). Apart from being very disappointed by that in general, my immediate concern is regarding maintaining support for the latest Kobo firmware. I see there was a new firmware release in July that Calibre added support for in version 6.2.1. So if I am stuck with version 5.44, is it safe to allow my Kobo Forma to update its firmware to the latest version, or will this mean that it will no longer work with Calibre?

Thanks!
