First time Boot slower
Quote:
Other then that, the update is slower to process and boot into the system the first time. I found that after waiting a bit.. and not rushing into a factory reset the system booted fine.... My guess is the new update is busy processing things etc., and thats the reason for the slow boot. Regards JAck |

rolling back again...
Another update, another rollback.
The font tuning feature made my font of choice (Delima) unusable. Even the character spacing got messed up. I don't like how the homescreen got cluttered after 1.9.14. It was so simple and beatiful back then. I don't really care for shelves and don't keep thousands of books on my device anyway. If anyone wants the 1.9.14 firmware, just PM me and I'll send you the link. |

I seem to recall that the 1.9.14 firmware allowed you to use the device without setting it up at all. This is what my Kobo reverts to after a factory reset. If you choose to skip the setup, you can just mount the device and sideload books without even setting up a kobo account.

I did factory reset in settings then installed KT Firmware 2.0. I then installed newly formatted SD card and side loaded about 1000 books onto SD card using Calibre. Ejected KT from computer disconnect SD cable but KT stilled showed connected screen. Minutes later powered off KT then powered on KT. Now instead of just showing spinning indicator that KT is busy got progress bar with caption updating KT. Progress bar is much better. Didn't take very long to update database.

The ratings feature is nice. I have started using it. In your library, go to details and at the bottom you can add a rating. |

By logging out and back in, I'm assuming you mean more than just turning it off? (I tried that of course.)

Dictionary Bug
When using the dictionaries I encounter a bug. Can someone confirm the behavior described below?
1. Select a word. 2. Hit Translate. English-French is selected. 3. Change the Dictionary to any other, e.g. English-German. Problem: The Text stays English-French. 4. Hit the "back" arrow. 5. Select the word again. Text is changed to English-German. Close the menu completely (including the lower bar with highlight etc.) If you now select a word, it will be translated and the Kobo will remember your setting. But if you don't close the menu completely again but directly select a word, it switches back to definition. |

I updated one of Kobo readers (there are 3 in my household), and the reader side seems functional (no extensive testing).
However, update of Kobo desktop app running under Wine was not successful. The Kobo desktop application is not recognizing the reader (winecfg set to "Floppy drive" for that device), the app fails to sync with Kobo servers. I tried to reinstall, the version available on Kobo server is still the old one and attempts an update to 3.0 on first run. Has anyone found a way to run new desktop app version under the Wine? |
