ADDED: If 3.5.0 has been terminated, then 3.8.0 has yet to be scheduled for the area in which I live.

Some have already said that setting the affiliate to BestBuyCA has already gotten then 3.8.0 on sync.

I didn't realize that was an answer to someone else. I wasn't trying to correct you. I was just trying to give the answer that had just come about.

3.5.0 was paused for unspecified internal reasons by Kobo. Doesn't seem like there was a particular bug or anything. Since they are now rolling 3.8.0 it's probably back to the same rollout order as normal (meaning you're likely at the end of the line again ).

Thanks robko and Jon.

I normally just wait for firmware updates, as I'm in no hurry.

I'll look forward within the next 2-3 weeks, then, of getting 3.8.0.

I have serious arthritis, and the weight is a very important consideration for me (I feel the difference in my neck when I have too much change in my purse...).

I understand you completely--I have arthritis as well, and a little change in weight makes a huge difference. I have a Kobo mini that fits in my purse; my Aura stays at home.
