Bug Description
The new release of the Kobo firmware updated the database and changed a couple of functions. The database level is now 77, but the driver will handle 80. There are also changes to how covers are handled for books on the SD card.
I have also made some changes to the firmware version checking. In the past, it has simply checked the database version. But, this is not reliable. Older firmware can be installed without back leveling the database. And function has been added to the firmware without updating the database version. The version check now also checks the firmware version and this is used for some function checking.
Also, the version numbers are ahead of the actual release. If Kobo put out a 2.5.1 version, it will be a bug fix without any function changes.
