I had no problems with the upgrade with my laptop with Win7 and 64 bit.

Perhaps for those with weird issues, ensure that there are no other USB drives of any type attached during the upgrade????

And note - you will need a SMALL paper clip to do the reset. A large one doesn't seem to fit too well, and you will need to push it all the way in. There seems to be a double resistance to the reset switch push.

It is good to see the EPUBS are justified. It seems the margins are a little too big, which wastes a lot of page space, but I can always fix that with CALIBRE.

The only change I had to make to the KOBO was to reset the Time Zone, but that may be because I didn't wait for the "official" download e-mail, but took it off a thread.
