Thanks for your prompt reply. Are the problems being reported with the update universal or sporadic?

If I don't sync to the desktop, I assume I will NOT get this update? I can't see any benefit, and many negatives. Am I missing something really important here? (I read what was new, but cut it in my response to conserve space.) Thank you |

[QUOTE=ReneAZ;1455633]My goodness, why would I want to update this?
I have had the update a few days now and have tried all the functions multiple times with no glitches or hiccups. I did notice one thing during my testing... Loading a jpg image from the Documents sections works fine and places the image in the "I'm Reading" section, all good so far, but if you try to load it again from the Documents section without closing out of the "Im Reading section you just get a black screen. Ebooks just load regardless.... Can be a bit worrisome until you figure it out. But the upgrade is most definitely worth it. I am wondering if the serial numbers of units that are problematical maybe worth recording? A |

The positive side of the upgrade is you get the goto function and the ability to close books from the menu which are nice functions to have. If you don't want the upgrade it will ask if you want to install it or not when it detects it (although it may keep asking if you say no). If you're syncing to Kobo at all, avoiding the desktop probably won't help since it will ask on wireless sync too (but you should still have the option to say no). |

Is the 1.9 version available in Canada? I have been trying to sync it repeatedly, and I never get the prompt to go to 1.9.

Yes, it is, but it is Kobo-2 the WiFi one, only. Which one do you have?

Do I have to have the Desktop App in order to get the upgrade? Cause I don't (my computer is too old for the Desktop). I keep checking the store to get it, and it's not giving me the upgrade.

Amo, you have to upgrade the Desktop, then the Kobo.
