New hardware version: kobo7
The v2 devices are kobo7. My update check bot just found out.
Here are the API URLs for proof: http://api.kobobooks.com/1.0/Upgrade...79/kobo/0.0/N0 http://api.kobobooks.com/1.0/Upgrade...78/kobo/0.0/N0 There is one unfortunate (but possibly temporary) change though: The full version number does not seem to be in the upgrade url anymore (this will make the checks for my firmware page harder). If anyone has any ideas about extracting the version (preferably without downloading the whole zip), I'd really appreciate hearing it. The only way I've found is the second string after "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.0; en-us;) AppleWebKit/%1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/%1 (Kobo Touch %2/%3)" in libnickel.

I'm going to poke around with the update zip and see if anything major has changed about the layout of the update zips for kobo7 devices (compared to kobo6). I'll post my findings below.

After downloading the new firmware to my H2O, Edition 2, v2, and connecting to Calibre, I get this pop-up:
calibre, version 3.20.0 WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo. Device database version: 146. Device firmware version: (4, 8, 10956) Jim |

Also, could you tell me what the hash and version number is in the settings so I can see if it's the same as the mark 6 version? |

4.8.10956(daee2c4220 4/17/18) If there's someplace else I should be looking for the hash number, just let me know and I'll report back. As for the Calibre info, presumably someone will ask me for some information if they need it. Jim |

The database information should be updated in the next calibre release. |

Sorry for the delay: I just noticed your request. Here's some numbers:
4.1.15,4.8.10956,4.1.15,4.1.15,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000378: If this isn't what you want, I can just copy the whole thing for you. Jim Last edited by Strether; 04-29-2018 at 01:58 PM. Reason: Deleting serial number |

OK, that's what I needed. You might want to edit out the N##### because it is your serial number.

i own kobo glo hd which is 6" kobo6 device.
Would it be wise to get another one just for being kobo7? What would be the new possible improvements on kobo7? Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 v2 might be the device based on kobo7 |

Any possible answers would be speculation. Will just have to wait for them to release it.

The only real difference seems to be in the processor.
