No news from Kobo?
near 6 months without firmware update, no news about new device?
Kobo is still alive?

There was some interview where they mentioned bringing Overdrive support natively to Kobo devices. It's possible that they're holding off on a firmware update until that gets the kinks worked out. The interview said it would be available 'relatively soon', and was from May 2016 sooo.

The interview was with the OverDrive CEO, so is hopefully creditable. And so that people don't have to go hunting, the report is at http://www.teleread.com/easier-downl...ders-and-apps/
