Where to download Kobo desktop installers
Earlier yesterday, I had been so confused about where or what the Kobo desktop installer is, that I had shot an email to their customer service people asking where to download the installer.
I don’t know why they don’t make this screamingly obvious on their website, but here goes.

I purchased a Slick e-reader at Big Lots. It is a ER700 model. Which Kobo link do I use?
Note: The windows desktop installer file was empty.
good

I also bought my ereader from big lots and it will not install this kobo.
big help thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you – I have installed, uninstalled until I thought I was losing my mind . . .
Following instructions I seem to have everything OK BUT when I go to look for the desktop installer it’s not there.
I am using Google Chrome as my Internet source as my Windows Explorer is not working. Would that effect my download?
I recently purchased The Lincoln Lawyer but have been unable to download it to my reader as the screen with the sync option will not come up on the screen.
Any Suggestions?

I installed my Kobo reader, and was happily reading books for a couple of weeks. I powered up one evening, and no longer had access to my books. I have tried everything, with no luck. I uninstalled this program, but now it will not install again. I got as far as 89% one time before the download quit. This is so frustrating. I have the eReader wireless, and I need help now!

I just purchased my ereader and when I try to install for a Windows computer it states that the folder is empty. I checked the recycle bin to make sure I did not delete it. What do I need to do. I just want to be able to download books. Thank you. Kathy Olszewski
