You're looking for excuses to buy a new one, are you?

I install it on my H2O but I can easily factory reset / switch SD cards on mine.

With the Aura this is not possible at all so you should not do dangerous experiments with it.



do you know if it will be possible with the two new devices?


best wishes koboy

I don't think so. It must be enabled by hardware detection somehow. I do wonder if a patch could be made to enable it though

Another guess is maybe it reads the version file to get the info.

Could be, but what set the version file?

Doesn't anyone read my posts?

To be clear:

- 4.0.7523 is only being released to the Aura One and the Aura Edition 2.
- Overdrive is only active on the Aura One.

Just remembered two other changes:

- Changed whatever it was that tripped up the Win10 Anniversary Edition. This isn't that important as MS fixed it as well, but maybe they have just postponed the change.
- Light popup adjustment steps changed. From 0 to 5%, the steps are 1%. Above this, they are 5%.

Does the country you're in make a difference? My Aura One just updated over WIFI to 4.0.7523 and there is no option for Overdrive setup.

It might, but since you appear to be in Canada you should have the option. If you're looking under settings it should be just over half way down the list and is labeled as "Overdrive".
From the Kobo website: Dependent on library participation, available through most public libraries in North America, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. If you're using it outside those area's it might not be active I guess.

I don't ever plan to have wifi turned on. Will there be other ways to get firmware updates?

Yeah, I'm in Canada. Strange that it's not in my settings, yet. Maybe in the next firmware. Don't have the user guide either, just a "placeholder" for it, under Help.

You're supposed to be able to update the firmware using the Kobo desktop software, but that didn't work for me with the Aura One today. WIFI did work.
