I have previously had a cooler and updated it with the 301 firmware for the pocketbook which made it a really great and very versatile reader, only the build quality of the device let it down and eventually the buttons broke. I have since got a hold of a kobo wifi and as it uses the same netronix chipset has anyone had any success in updating the kobo software with it as the kobo is a joke, it hangs indefinately if it doesnt like the format of a book and if you dont put them on individually you cant know which one caused the hang. its abysmally slow apart from that.
Apologies if this has already been asked, did google but could find nothing conclusive
