In the last few days, several users have reported the existence of a new update for the new Kobo eReaders. Is update is numbered 4.0.7 And it seems that it will only come to the newer Kobo eReaders or at least it seems that the old Kobo devices will not have this update.
The new Kobo firmware touches important aspects of the eReader such as connecting to OverDrive but also other aspects such as the connection of the device with the rest of the services and the management of these by the device and the user. In addition, the dictionaries that in other versions have been eliminated, such as those related to French, return.
Many users who have tried or seen this update have stated that it focuses on Overdrive so in the case of Spain, this update does not represent a great advance, but there is more.
The new update will improve Overdrive and also the connection with Windows 10
The Kobo Aura One and the Kobo Aura Edition 2 are two devices that do not get along with Windows 10 Anniversary Update and they keep having connection problems. The new update may be that update that the Kobo team promised to fix the issues. If so, we can deduce that the connection with Overdrive is the problem so that Windows 10 can read and sync ebooks with the eReader.
In any case, the updates of the Kobo eReaders continue and at least with each device we have one, something that makes our old eReader not obsolete or forgotten, at least the most popular Kobo devices. It also seems that Kobo will focus on offering Overdrive to usersToo bad we don't have this library loan service yet in Spain, since it seems that Kobo and Overdrive users are enjoying the eReader a lot.
