2.8.1 in Australia?
Has anyone in Australia been able to get the 2.8.1 upgrade?
I tried with the Kobo Desktop Reader and a Wi-Fi connection this afternoon, and it's still showing 2.6.1 |

Yes: wirelessly on a Glo, not a Touch. I don't think 2.8.1 is being pushed to Touches.

My Mini is still running 2.6.1 and my last wireless sync was around noon (I'm in France not in Australia, though).

If 2.8.1 does nothing else, at least it fixes the utterly annoying bold/italic bug. For some people this is important (even though the bug should never have existed in the first place, and when it did should have been fixed at once. Anyway, it's gone now, and good riddance to it.)

Thanks, doubleshuffle. I agree that fixing the bold/italic bug makes it worthwhile to install the 2.8.1 firmware. My elderly eyes can barely read the model number on the bottom edge, but I'm sure it ends with a C. Is it safe to manually install the firmware with this model Touch?
