Kobo Firmware 2.4.0
Just Synced my Kobo Glo and got firmware update 2.4.0. Testing to see if some of the major bugs are fixed.
Edit - Looks like the book cover issue when sleeping is fixed. Last edited by kaikara; 02-14-2013 at 01:33 PM. |

I am in Ontario, Canada. Just tried Syncing my wife's touch with the desktop app and it didn't get the update.
Edit: Tried wirelessly syncing the touch and it didn't get the update that way either. Last edited by kaikara; 02-14-2013 at 01:45 PM. |

Like the notes say. In the library view when you click on a book you have an option for delete and archive now. When you archive a book it stays in the list but had a little download arrow on the book picture. If you click on it it tries to start the wireless to download the book (or download it if the wireless is running). Only Kepubs have this option of course.

Another thing that was an issue for me. When closing a sideloaded epub and going back to the main screen, opening another book and then going back to the first book. Sometimes the bookmark was off by a number of pages. I tried two different books with the new firmware and it worked fine each time.
Mrs-Often - Ninja posted me. I only tried a couple times but it looks fine to me. time will tell though. |

With the new firmware loaded and the updated desktop app (3.2.0) you get new functionality. You get a bar along the bottom of the library that shows the device connected and how much space is on it. Each book has an icon on it if it is on the reader. And you can remove them from the device if you don't want them there without having to delete them.

Just checked through wifi sync on my Glo and also plugging it into the desktop app and no update is appearing for me here one province over in Winnipeg.
Some of the niggling bugs with 2.3.1 are driving me nuts so I really hope 2.4 fixes them and is out soon... |

How is sorting handled now for books that have had the series info added NOT by the metadata plugboards? Is the sorting by Title or Series / Series index and then Title?
