The name for 3.12.0 is and always will be RALPH!
The reason it's called Ralph is because of the definition of Ralph as a verb (to ralph, he/she just ralphed). |

While there isn't much in this release, none of it seems to be bad. Or fitting with the verb definition of ralph. Some of the releases in the past would fit, especially those issued, allowed to burp around a bit and then be vomited forth from Kobo in a changed state... |

Hey sorry, I'm totally going to have to hijack this and ask you to explain what you mean by "ghosting". Is it when you turn the page and it just doesn't look right while it's transitioning? So hard to explain, maybe you can try to explain it to me.

What's new in the latest Kobo FW versions is that you get a ghost image of the cover image when you wake the reader up from sleep. I don't mind too much*, but some can't stand it it seems. *No, Kobo, that doesn't mean you shouldn't fix it!!! |

Problem 2 is that with almost every new "mistake" in a firmware, it often takes 3 of more updates until it is fixed. Last edited by Nick_1964; 01-15-2015 at 09:57 AM. |

And the new ghosting problem isn't just a "slightly greyish" image of the cover, but instead looks almost like the cover and the page you are trying to read are both being displayed simultaneously. Very distracting. (Although for some reason, the problem has disappeared for me on 3.11.0. While it was happening, though, it was driving me nuts!)

Using firmware 3.11.0 on a Kobo Glo ghosting has not improved compared to previous firmware releases.
