Good new firmware and some bugs

I want to say Thank You for your work at the new Firmware 2.6.1 !
You implemented most of my wishes like a QWERTY keyboard and it works almost good.

My last really needed wish is that the browser can work in landscape mode.
It is nearly not usable showing webpages only upright.

Another fine feature would be to have an additional filter for the books.
There is enough space for about 1000 books in the internal flash and you got crazy to search one when you have more than a hundred installed.
A filter to show only the bools that are not applied to an bookshelf would help.
Or you give the information of the stored path in the details and filter list.
Then it would be possible to use a path structure.

My dream would be that you give the sources to implement a display driver that allow to implement other applications easy, but i think it is not in the interest of the corporation(s) you are working for.

There are some new bugs / problems i want to report here:

1. In some epubs i can't modify the line spacing
2. Pages are not shown completely in epubs.

I attached a sample technical document where you can see this problems.
It is generated by saving the page with the Firefox of this URL: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/artic...R-GCC-Tutorial.
Then i converted the local HTML with Calibre to EPUB.
So you have the same problems with other documents converted with Calibre.
It is really fine that also tables are shown on the Kobo correct, but it shows only the beginning of the page and then jumps to the beginning of the next page when you skim.
Intresting is that it leaps to the correct internal page number.
