Thumbs up Just to say hello
Hi all

Just new to the forum, my daughter brought me my Kobo just three days ago and I can say it is the best thing since cut bread. I am an avid reader but my worry was that I am shorthly to be travelling on the road full time in our caravan all over Australia, and the thought of where to store my books and also how to dispose of them was a bit of a problem. now I have my Kobo I don't have to worry absolutely love it.

Hi Niva64 and welcome to MobileRead.

You are going to find that reader soooooooooo great when you are on the road. Fill it up to the brim with as many books as you can, then you won't have to hurry home.

Hi Niva64 and welcome to MobileRead. I just got back from a three week business trip to the UK and it was great having all my books right at hand and not in an extra suitcase

Great to have your company, Niva. Don't forget to pop into the Kobo forums here for tips and advice. Maybe you'll bump into my cousine Elaine and her husband Roy from Tasmania on your travels. They take a camper wagon on tour of the mainland every winter now that they're retired. Very best wishes and bon voyage. Neil

Greetings Niva64 and welcome to MR! If you're going to be traveling full-time...I can see why you think your Kobo is the best thing since cut bread :-)

Have fun!

Welcome and enjoy your Kobo. I have relatives in Australia and have visited there. It's a great place.

Thanks for all the welcome, now for a serious question especially for the Australian readers with a KOBO did you have any problems with it freezing and also where to obtain a link to this firmware upgrade they keep talking about, have submitted questions to KOBO but so far no reply, just had to exchange my KOBO at Angus & Robertson's after only 5 days use, and they could not find the SD card that they were supposed to have to upgrade the firmware. Any help would be appreciated.
