New Software Updates Available for All Kobo eReaders
Kobo has started rolling out software updates for their line of ereaders, and unlike the last update that was only available for their new models, this one is available for pretty much all of them (except the few models they no longer update, like the Kobo Mini and the first couple of non-touchscreen Kobos).

Replacement Parts for Kobo eReaders Now Available
When Kobo announced the release of their new ereaders back in April, they said replacement parts would be sold for them on the iFixit website, but several months went by and that didn’t happen.
