I have two Kobo Glo readers.. My wife's always get updates
many days earlier than mine as hers was purchased this March at a
big box electronics store here in Canada. Mine was purchased last year
through Chapters/Indigo.
My firmware is still at 2.6.1 while I note hers is now at 2.8.1 with the firmware
date of July 15th, 2013! I have seen no reference to any updates
since 2.6.1.
Anyone else have 2.8.1???????
We both connect via Wifi daily to update a newspaper subscription btw.
As an aside I hate that I have to "dismiss" daily the "Recommended list" tile
and "Reading Stats" tile even though I have all of the Reading Life and
Notifications options boxes unchecked. I personally have no use for any of those gimmicks, just want a stable/reliable Ereader. Once I turn that
stuff I would dearly love not to be bothered with it again, yet every day
after downloading my newspaper, I have to delete undesired tiles pushed
down.
Regards
