I'm always polite. Just every couple of months, I e-mail customer support a reminder: "Linux support yet?" Their reply is usually "no" or "we're working on it." > A reasonably up-to-date Debian will treat an ereader as an mp3 > player, and you can move files on an off of it. you need the MTP > driver installed. Good to know. I'll check it out. I simply don't know why Kobo excluded Linux to begin with. The device connects as a mass storage device on Windows and OSX. (And used to on Linux until they updated the OS last year.) Also, I discovered quite by accident, it will sometimes, if you leave it connected for 20 minutes or so. However, once, or if, it's fully charged, it won't. Strange. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
