OK now I'm actually trying to read on my new WiFi and have run into some trouble. It has Firmware version 1.7.1 and my desktop is 1.9. I clicked on Sync dozens of times and no s/w upgrade so far. It did replace my library totally once (?) and seemed to have trashed one of my ADE books. :-(

Am I clicking in vain, or will I eventually get the new firmware by clicking on the Kobo desktop Sync button repeatedly (allowing it to do its thing in the meantime)? Specifically I'm wondering since I think the software on the reader is a couple of versions old maybe it's not meeting some criteria.

Edit to say: I clicked "Post" on this message, clicked Sync on the Kobo desktop - and the update was offered. Go figure!
