Leaving out support costs, if they sell a million units and save $0.10 per unit that's $100,000. Not chump change and I have to think it costs them more then $0.10 per unit for the port and installation cost during production.

Is the OS seeing the card?

The device. My cholesterol count. Depends on what I'm cooking. I've been pleasantly surprised by my H2O's screen surviving hot oil spatter, spilled tea and coffee, flying vegetable bits, etc..

I always use my Surface Pro 2 in the kitchen... I just make sure I put it somewhere where I'm not working with liquids!

Yes, the device and Windows 7 see the card, and I can drag a book onto it and open the book. It is just Calibre that doesn't see the card. I tried changing the configuration in Calibre but it didn't matter.

That's weird. Can you run calibre in debug mode and connect the device? Then close calibre and send me the log. Either PM it to me, or start another thread as this is not really the right place for the discussion.

It's got to be my computer. I have been unable to update Calibre since 2.73 (Win 7 64 bit). I tried the card in my Aura HD, then a different card, same result.

I sent a PM but I don't see how to attach a file to a PM.

Ok, pasted it in a PM

No, there isn't a way to attach a file. Either upload it somewhere and put a link, or just paste the text in the PM.

Do you get any kind of error message while installing the update? Have you tried uninstalling Calibre and then installing the new version? This should not affect any of your settings/libraries.

I finally got it updated. I moved the zip file out of the download folder, and then it worked!

First reviews of the H202 are starting to turn up... Here's hoping reports of the week-long battery life are a simple misunderstanding based on Kobo's new Kindle-like advertising ("weeks" of battery life) and do not reflect reality.

Does the new H202 suffer from he same problem as all other Kobo readers where highlighting text is slow and unresponsive compared to Kindle? This is the main reason why I returned three previous Kobo readers and went back to Kindle. Like everything about Kobo but if I can't highlight notes, I don't need it.
