Hello Geoffr!

Thanks for your answer! You were right - the problem is on dropbox' side!

I checked with my wifes Kobo Touch (fw 2.6.0), and it behaves the same.
On each epub I can choose "Link freigeben" (something like "enable link"), than a download button appears. Unfortunately tapping this doesn't download the book to the kobo...
I can't switch to desktop version, whenever I access dropbox' address, it will deliver the mobile version without choice.

But anyway, no fw problem, as it looks like ;-)

Thanks & bye,
Michael

When I sign in to dropbox from my Glo I get the mobile version to start, but at the bottom left of the page there is a button that says "Desktop version" and I can tap that to switch.

Edit: These screenshots are from my Glo, the first is the view I get when I first sign in to dropbox, the second is after I have tapped the "Desktop version" button and then selected a file by tapping the space to the right of the filename.

This worked for me, but only when I opened the dropbox site with www.dropbox.com/m/browse, as Geoff shows in his first screen shot. I have now successfully downloaded a book

Hate to bump this, I'm not sure if the version 4 firmware threads are discussing the Glo HD.

Is Kobo done with Glo HD firmware updates? I'm happy where it ended up, but curious if we'll get more.

Rest assured that when the new f/w is stabilized other devices will see it.
