I had a pleasant surprise when I plugged in my Kobo to my computer. Up popped a firmware 1.4 notification on my computer screen and asks if I am ready to upgrade. What followed is a series of step by step interactive screens, well illustrated, which walk you through every step of the upgrade process. Very straightforward and painless.

I however, had a brand new computer (the old broke down), and had to re-install the Adobe Digital Editions and the Kobo desktop application. The Kobo desktop app automatically re-synched my purchased books from the Kobo bookstore. However, I had to download all the titles again to re-synch ADE. That's about the most inconvenient thing I had to do.

All in all, kudos to the Kobo team for a job very well done.

Now, I will check if the promised fixes actually do the job.
