Do not get an SDHC card - just SD - for storing up to 4GB of .pdf documents! Something I *really* like about the kobo is that SD card slot!

a 4GB SDHC card should also work. Anything over that is not gauranteed to work as we have not tested with it.

I've used an 8GB before out of convenience, but it did not have much stuff on there so I don't know the extent to which it will work.

Thanks. What's the diffrence, if you don't mind me asking? Also, if you own a kobo, would you know where the cheapest place to get either a sticker cover for the kobo or a fabric cover? I prefer the latter, but am planing on purchasing both as well.

Buy one right now, from physical stock in the store, otherwise you might end up with one with the new firmware ready-installed on it...

Just becasue YOU are not happy with the new firmware does not mean everyone is.

Besides, what is to say that when the Kobo performs it's initial install of the desktop application that it will not download the newest client at that time, and perform the upgrade.

You can keep dismissing the wizard if you so choose. But it will keep firing every once in a while (I believe every time you start the application).
