I have been able to reproduce this problem on my KT as well, but it appears to be random and when it does happen once you close the popup the text behind it is also badly faded but the rest of the text on the page is fine.

Just came about a change I was not aware of...
When there is an annotation in a book, marked with a (*), you could bring up a page with the corresponding text, and controls to move up or down the annotations, but now you first get a popup for that annotation and a choice to go to the page. Don't know for sure that this is new to 1.9.16, but nice job nonetheless! François |

That's exactly the same as it occurs on my unit. The problem is indeed random, and the text is so bad behind the popup after clearing it that I can't read the text sometimes, and have to do a page back and then forward to rewrite the text to read it. ltr |

I also see ghosting if I go to the home page, then select a book from the carousel so that the book opens on a page with a lot of blank space - I can see a shadow of the 2nd book in the carousel (which has quite a black cover picture). If I go forward then back the shadow is gone - so it seems to be showing up only on the first display of the page - and not necessarily every time. The same if from the home page I select Home->Settings - although the shadow is light, it is there. |

'Disastrously' mistranslated item
The English version (correct):
HOME -> SETTINGS -> Device Information -> SOFTWARE DETAILS -> Release Notes The German version (wrong): START -> EINSTELLUNGEN -> Geräteinformationen -> SOFTWAREDETAILS -> Notizen verfassen Lol, 'Notizen verfassen' means that you can note (and save) something. But you can only view software details there. The term 'Release Notes' should be simply translated to 'Details' or 'Versionsdetails'. Please fix that - thanks. |

I'm always in Airplane Mode. And always getting "Recommended for You" each time I come back to the Home page. So I created a "Shortlist," set it to Shortlist. Then I read. I come back, and I still get "Recommended for You." After multiple turn-offs and turn-ons, still I get "Recommended for You." Which isn't so horrible, I s'pose...unless someone else where to see that homepage and see exactly what's being (ahem...blush...) recommended.

Thirded (at least ... I haven't read the entire thread). Symptoms of menu items and cached press exactly as therealjoeblow describes. This is the second thing I noticed after the update - the first being the advertising. Not a good start for new firmware.
It occurs to me that the symptoms would be explained by a missing screen refresh between the initial menu item selection and the new screen coming up. This is a major pain when trying to navigate the library and really does need to be addressed quickly. Quote:

There definitely seems to be a problem with this latest firmware release as evidenced by the number of posters recounting similar experiences.
I'm at a loss why these problems don't show up in the beta testing. At a minimum, the fact that you can't lock the shortlist as your preferrence for the carousel, deserves a new version should be released. The ghosting and faded text seems to be an actual problem and should also be addressed, as should the second click problem. ltr Last edited by ltr; 12-26-2011 at 05:13 PM. |

Yeah--this kind of thing drives the developers (and the beta group) a little nuts. Everyone would much rather have problems show up before anything is released, for sure. I have a feeling that tomorrow morning, when the Boxing day festivities are over, there will be activity regarding this.
