Yet, googling around, I haven't yet seen usb problems reported with the Kobo Touch and Linux. E.g., this is what I find at www.darkcoding.net/misc/kobo-ereader-touch-on-ubuntu-linux/ : It's a USB device. 1. Plug it in to your Ubuntu machine (or probably any modern Linux distro). It shows up as a USB storage device. 2. Drag and drop books in any supported format onto it. 3. Unplug, switch on, read books. It's that simple. If you had a solid-state MP3 player (before your phone played them), this will feel familiar. The setup software is Win / Mac only, but you don't need it. When you start the device, it insists that you run the setup software. You don't have to. As far as I can tell, the setup does two things: * Forces you to create a kobobooks.com account. Lame. * Updates the software on the device. For this reason you might want to find a Windows or Mac machine at some point. Perhaps some udev problem? You could try a second distro to see if that works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
