From my testing, the issues with downloading using the browser were fixed with firmware 4.6.9960. I didn't test every site in the world, but all my test cases worked with no problems.

And your one up on me with War and Peace. I feel like I should read it, but, then I decide I'll read something I think I'll enjoy. |

FWIW, I just successfully downloaded an 8.22MB epub from the MR library. Latest FW 4.6.10075.

edit--Oh wait, MobileRead, right? For any English speakers sitting on the War and Peace fence, consider that there are a variety of translations to choose from, (albeit outside the joys of Project Gutenberg). You may find one suitable to your taste and background. For example, if you're reading only for the sake of a rousing good story, try the translation by Anthony Briggs. Some more insights here: Code:

Thanks a lot for your help, I will check if my Kobo is then correctly up to date. Because downloading went wrong. I was using COPS on my Nas to download epub and PDF.
I guess that the firmware you are talking about is compatible will all recent Kobo (2,3 years old max) |
