yes I have been using it on a daily basis, however, I did have trouble with my router. All other equipment in the house has been able to receive wifi i.e. on demand, hudle and wireless computer since the router was reset. Can I perhaps take off this wifi network from my kobo and start fresh again?
ok, the problem is you cannot on the Kobo, what you have to do is reset it, as this recreates the wireless profile.

It will return your Kobo to new, so you will need to download your books again to it.

To do the reset please do the following.

Go to Menu > Settings > Advanced > Reset Device Now.

Let this complete and when it has, then try to connect it to your wireless network.

Let me know the results please

But I have aalready paid for the books once.
You don't pay for them again Vivien.

They are linked to your Kindle and Kobo Accounts.

You can check this by looking at the books on the Kindle account you have.

Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX write down the titles and then reset my kobo. Can I come back to you if this fails please?

but the reset will remove the wireless profile on the Kobo and allow it to connect.
