Italics have been removed from some fonts and replaced with bold (including Gill sans and Kobo Nickel, two of my favourite).
It's a shame that the progress bar is only available for kepubs. Kobo has been introducing a lot of the new features (and the return of some old ones) on exclusively on kepubs at first, then bringing them to epubs much later. Is the coding for the two formats really that different or are they just trying to promote books from their store? I am merely curious, not making a wild accusation. Also, what is this about checking reading stats while reading? Last edited by kobokobe; 12-15-2012 at 08:24 PM. |

My Mini just updated to 2.3.0. Hopefully Touch will get something as well.

^ this is what happened to my Glo. I was told the device updated to 2.3.0 (with the same change logs as the OP) but under device information, it shows 2.3.1

That's what I expect. Kobo seem to only put revision information for the x.x.0 versions of the firmware. But then they release the x.x.1 version instead.

Besides that MAJOR bug, every font that isn't Georgia also has a very limited character set. |

Noooo I wanted it for epubs much more badly Unless they've finally given us the option to read all the pages per total pages instead of reading chapter pages per chapter total (so annoying). |

I can't. Gill Sans and Kobo Nickel were my favourites along with Caecillia, now they are not . I'm not sure I've ever actually encountered BoldItalic in any book that I read so can't say (or maybe none of the Kobo fonts have bolditalic).

It was only the other day I was reading something with bold italics; this was in a paragraph that was completely bold, and then a phrase was in italics, so I don't think it is too uncommon. Glad I'm using a custom font now.
