Kobo has started rolling out a new software update for their line of Kobo ebook readers. The new firmware version is 4.33.19608. It’s available for all Kobo models dating back to the original Kobo Touch that was released in 2011. The only exception is the Kobo Mini, which Kobo inexplicably stopped updating in 2016. It […]
