Or, just mount your KOBOeReader, and from the finder, go to the menu: Go -> "Go to folder..." Type in: /Volumes/KOBOeReader/.kobo ...and hit "Go."

Because, dragging and dropping from the Finder is a lot faster, if you know how to quickly view a hidden file. And, if you don't know how to quickly view a hidden file, you probably also don't know how to use the terminal or which commands to use to copy stuff over from the terminal.

Hah, so it seems like the freeze after the download via Wifi is due to the device having trouble unpacking the zip file...?
