Tired of being patient
So I've had my Kobo Wifi since November, practically when it first came out. I've been waiting for the upgrade that would fix the sideloaded-epub-sleep-problem ever since then. I've been good, I've been patient- every time someone tells me "Don't worry, the update is coming" I've been nice and smiley-faced and said "Okay, I can wait a bit longer." But now it's been nearly half a year (dangit!), and I'm still waiting! 1.9 is out, and it's not getting to me. And no, don't tell me to "sync" via the desktop app- I don't have it, I can't get it, because it won't run on my computer.
I'm just a bit fed up with being patient! |

Do you have wifi? You can connect it via wifi and pound on the sync button perhaps. Otherwise you may be able to find a side load version of the firmware. I found one for my literati so they are likely out there somewhere.

When I press the 'shop' button I get a menu. The menu is divided into
Store - Home - Top 50 - Categories - Recommended - News & Magazines - Free - Search Connect - Update Library Wireless - Turn Off Wireless - Wireless Setup There's no sync there. When you go into the Home page of the store, the five tabs at the top are: Home - Categories - Recommended - Free - Search No sync :-( |

Sorry, on mine it is called sync but on yours it is "update library" which means the same thing.

That was the first thing I tried, does bugger all. Do I have to keep trying it?

amo,
As Sameer mentioned in another thread, we are increasing the rollout for 1.9 to 100% in the next day or so. It should be available to all Kobo/Indigo/Chapters customers before the week is out. |

JC; any chance of a comment on the multiple versions of firmware people have seen on the Wifi unit? Take a look at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=1480653 . We've seen both r24894 dated March 1 and r25373 dated March 29 both flagged as 1.90.
