Kobo Desktop application link?

chebe · 04-26-2017, 06:52 AM

Hey all, really sorry if this is already cleared up somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I've tried contacting Kobo Support directly, but all they did was copy-paste back to me the instructions I said I was already following.

Problem;
I got a new laptop and I'm trying to download Kobo Desktop.
kobosetup.com redirects to kobo.com/desktop, where there is a lovely 'Download now' button, that doesn't do anything. I even checked the html, there is no link.

Help wanted;
If the button works for anyone else can you copy the download link for me? Or, if you have the link from the before time, that would help me out too.
Elsewise, does anyone have an application suggestion that will sync with my Kobo account?

Thank you!

*Edit* Oh, Windows 10.

I was able to just dl the file. When I clicked the dl button, a separate window popped up asking if I wanted to save or run.
Do you have a script blocker or popup blocker running? That might prevent you from getting it.

Either way, here's the link:

Thanks a million Ravensknight.

Nope, no pop-up blocker, and tried in Firefox, Chrome, and IE. It might be some strange region lock? But, again, thanks a million!
