I hope the same is true of the mythical Kobo firmware upgrade!

Perhaps the firmware upgrade is taking longer than anticipated because they're trying to fix some serious power consumption bugs? It's obvious from this thread (and other like it) that there is something very wrong with the battery life of many people's Kobo Reader's, and if that's true I imagine Kobo would be very keen to fix the bug before the Reader's US release in a little over two weeks.
