font size and new firmware

Hmm... that was an issue with epubs that had a font-size= directive in the stylesheet.css. The new Kobo firmware does what everybody else does and disregards the directive so re-sizing is not an issue. I've said goodbye to KoboBulkFixer -- for now.

Otherwise, v1.4 fixed one of my pet peeves where an ebook with an ' in the title claimed to be protected. I.e. Wind Rider's Oath and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. A bit annoying since Calibre would automatically change the title when I downloaded metadata.

On a somewhat related issue, you can now use the Display menu to select all books, your books or the built-in books. I had used Calibre to slowly remove the built-in books but this is a bit cleaner and much faster.

Otherwise, 1.4 is still as slow at processing new books especially when you add 450 at one time -- my Kobo had battery issues and I sent it for repair (turnaround was great and Kobo paid all shipping) however when it came back, all the books were missing so I added them all back in one swell foop. After an hour or so or watching the processing new content, I gave up and left it overnight. In the morning, it had powered off. When I powered it back on, the books were processed but the battery showed no charge left.
