I find it easier to go through kobo to set up a new device, with the kobo id/pw I use when I buy epubs on the kobo site (through internet, I don't want to download kepubs through Kobo desktop, because I prefer to clean epubs with Sigil and the Calibre app before uploading them as kepubs to the device.). Afterwards, I always sideload F/W updates and books. I only turn on the wifi to actualize Pocket, and immediately after turn it off. |

I just called Kobo in Canada. I pre-ordered the Aura One two hours after the link went active on August 30th. I wanted to get an idea of when it might ship because my address is going to change as of Sept. 14 and I might have to change the delivery address. I was told that in the US, the release date is Sept. 6 and it could arrive only 2-3 days after that. If my shipping email (when I get it) indicates that it will be longer, I may have to make another call to change the shipping. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be here before I leave.

Wild guess: maybe new options are forthcoming, to lock the device after a given time maybe? OR: the screensaver is considered a potential breach of privacy since it displays what you are reading. |

![]() The delivery date is good for me as majority of my reading is through my library's Overdrive. It would have been disappointing to get the device before they launched the Overdrive feature. Thinking the new One would be "ready, set, go!" with OD, on Tuesday, I had canceled my hard copy holds, switching them to OD (as well as purchase suggestions for the titles not in our OD collection as of yet) Last edited by beespeckled; 09-02-2016 at 10:24 AM.

Another question, how are people in the US getting shipment notices already when Kobo (Rakuten) says the Aura One won't even be available until Sept. 6? I ordered at 2 AM EST on August 30. No shipping notice yet. |
