@jswolf will be along later to remind you to get a cover

Apparently you put your overdrive account details into settings, and then search the store.

There is no overdrive option in the settings menu.

I was concerned. First time I turned on a Voyage, I thought, "no way, its going back", twice!! I know some folk cannot see colour shift, I can. I'm very happy.

Did it actually download and install an update? From your other comments, I suspect this is the factory firmware. Whether it is or isn't, there will be an update in the next few days.

Took a few attempts to login into my Kobo account, my login details kept throwing up an error with the server. Then eventually it connected, synced and said device was up-to-date. I think I got a Aura One by mistake, a nice mistake.

New to Kobo and just placed an order from Chapters Indigo. I have been reading primarily on Kindles. Can Auro One owners please answer these questions:

- How is the screen responsiveness to highlighting text?
- Can I access my highlights once I connect Kobo to my computer? Kindle allows me to access my highlights via a simple text file. Very important to me.

I couldn't compare as I sent the Voyage back as the colour shift was unacceptable, I can only compare to my pw2. I slightly increased the font weight on my Aura One and my pw2 looks washed out in compression. Obviously its very subjective as we all see things a little differently.

Slightly slower than my Kindle, not a lot in it TBH. Not that keen on a word being underlined, rather have it being made solid like the kindle. I'm sure someone will be able to tell me how to alter this.

I do too. It looks like reviewers were given a slightly newer firmware with demo overdrive support, and there will be a firmware update later to add proper overdrive support - at which point we discover if owners of older hardware get overdrive as well...

Got mine this morning. Initial impression is very good, although I did seem to hit a bug that wouldn't let me exit a book. I had to reload the device to get out of it.

There were places other than LambdaTek selling it in the UK. Last time I checked, there were sellers on eBay estimating delivery by the 2nd.

Unfortunately, we probably won't. Don't hold your breath waiting for a release for the other devices. And even then, it might have Overdrive support disabled.
