Anyone know why the Kobo/Borders app always crashes when I load it? Anyone successfully get it to work? thanks!

I'd like to know as well. I can never get it to work with wifi on, but you can't login to your account with wifi off. I also can't get the IMDB app to work either.

I've tried 2 different versions of it and both crash. /;=PNewer versions can be downloaded here, but they're crashing too! http://www.box.net/shared/93t5vc7np8

When I follow your link, it just takes me to the box.net sign in screen.

OK, I got the old Kobo and Borders apps to work. What I had to do was start them with wifi off, not sign in, go to the home screen (I used the Bar Control Home button trick, but the back button might work also), turned on wifi with my wifi on/off widget, quickly went back to the app before it connected, waited for it to connect, and then pressed the sign in button.Now both apps work all the time, without doing anything special.Note: This worked for both Kobo and Borders (they are essentially the same, but link to different accounts). Make sure you setup your account in advance on your pc to make things easier.

^ i concur. this method works! kobo now works. however, can anyone find out if kobo still needs wifi connection on in order to load or cache pages?
