It seems that new update updated time for synchronizing content, made font on home page tiles slightly bolder. The smallest distance between lines of text is still preset at 1.3 and the bottom space is still there.
The thing with the bottom space is that it is not consistently the same size, it keeps jumping from about 2 lines to about 4, it seems there is a setting not to put the paragraph at the end of a page, unless all of it fits. Update does not tell you that it is updating its database either, it just feels that it is frozen at reboot, but it is actually going through the motions. I understand that people were talking about wasted space on Kobo page ad nauseum, but why not let readers pick their preference, some of us like bigger margins, some don't, some want information on the book displayed, some don't, I, for one, would like to have control of my reading space. |

As usual, if you know that some old bug is fixed or you experience new bugs, you can report them in the Bug Thread
@MDK, can you add the link to the bug thread in the first post? Last edited by Lucas Malor; 06-08-2013 at 03:38 AM. |

I can't seem to be able to update my Kobo Glo to 2.6.1.
I synchronize and it says: Loading content, updating awards, etc but the firmware stays at 2.5.2 How did you, guys, updated the frmware? Many thanks! Last edited by paulfiera; 06-08-2013 at 05:37 AM. |

You're correct. The header text isn't displayed now but the header bar (margin) is still there. Kobo didn't change the actual viewport. Leaving all - possible - other unnoticeable improvements aside, this is no improvement to fw 2.5.2. . No improvement when reading. 2.5.1. no header 2.5.2. header with text 2.6.1: header without any text (blank header) Should be 2.x.x. no header, small (adjustable?) top margin (like fw 2.5.1.)

If you wait a few more days it will be with you . . or you can sideload the new firmware if you feel confident by going here and following the instructions Please note though, manually updating is not officially supported by Kobo. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=185660 Last edited by Willa; 06-08-2013 at 09:20 AM.

I usually use a 0.2 topmargin for my books, the one kobo added is a bit bigger. Not really to my taste so I will stick with the 2.5.1 reader, but it is not really bad. If you want the new homescreen on the glo, it is worth upgrading imo. Not worth upgrading for Aura users imo. |

And it isn't actually a search bar. It is a button. Pressing it opens another window to do the actual search. I have always thought it should be an icon next to the home icon, but putting it at the bottom of the home screen as a fourth option would be good as well.
