One thing I've noticed since the update is that I'm not able to adjust the line spacing. The options are all there, but they don't actually visibly change anything. Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's some corrupt ePub files? Has anyone else found this? Or is this more likely something to do with Calibre (support for updates)?

Although the rel.2.5.1 fixes several bugs (setting light to a minimum, the sudoku bug), it still doesn't seems to have solved the error regarding the ordering of ebooks using the series field.
For people like me who uses intensively the attribute series, it's really annoying. Furthermore, add that field in the sort key just as in the 2.4 release should not be too complicated. |

Series sorting has been discussed to death. It was removed for 2.4.0 and was a deliberate decision on Kobo's part.

I also would like to know why it has been dropped.
I assume that that discussion took place on a closed forum (for beta testers?) or something alike. I have no problem with decisions taken by Kobo about their products, as long I'm informed about them. I just would like that Kobo informs us about any decisions taken or their (Kobos) point of view on a certain matter. That the discussion takes place on a closed forum (limited user group) is not an issue as long as a final decision is made public. Some brief info would be appreciated, like: * bug/feature: that a bug (feature) officially is recognized by Kobo. And that it * is under investigation (bug)/consideration (feature) * is going to be fixed (added) in a coming future firmware release (not necessarily the next one) * is not fixed, because of * hardware limitations/lack of a uniform industry standard solution * won't be fixed/dropped/postponed *Kobos reasoning/point of view about [a matter, bug, feature etc.]: e.g. may be too complicated to implement. Or: requested feature is part of the coming epub 3 standard and therefore postponed. Last edited by Anak; 04-29-2013 at 08:42 AM. |

What does it mean "the sorting is on the book title"? So what should we do with series attribute ? If Kobo give me this feature, I would use it without problems. Otherwise, is better to remove it. Last edited by 14nc310t; 04-29-2013 at 09:02 AM. |

[/QUOTE] What does it mean "the sorting is on the book title"? So what should we do with series attribute ?[/QUOTE] Exactly what I said. When you use "by Title", it sorts by the title of the book. The argument is that the series name is not part of the title. Quote:

@davidfor:
I'm sorry but I still do not understand: 1) Kobo do multiple key sorting except on Series field. 2) Only Kobo had this feature. No competitor has this. 3) They discontinued it since 2.4 without any comprensible reason. This is is what I say foresight and competitive advantage! Then why the hell Kobo removed this feature ? I love this product , but sometime I would understand it better! |

I think Kobo went wrong by not giving us a SERIES sort option, or even giving us the option to keep it the way it was. It was a fabulous feature, one competitors don't have. It was awesome, and I miss it. I have, however, decided that I shall keep going on about it at every available opportunity in the forums (and anywhere else), in the hope that Kobo will realise what an amazing feature they had and may consider future changes to give us it back as an option. Or give us series sort. Feel free to go on about it along with me, too. Please Kobo. Look at us all who miss sort by series! It was wonderful, we miss it, it made our reading lives easier in a way only Kobo did! |
