This is a major issue and failing of Kobo, the failure to provide the user with realtime information regarding these updates. It would seem that Kobo has opted the old "INTEL CPU" MOTO "IF ITS BROKE DON'T TELL THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO DUMB TO NOTICE OR REALIZE!"
Well I don't know if its extreme as that but it certainly does feel that way on a whole lot of different levels. regards Jack |

To be fair, in 3.0.0 they did finally get rid of the ghastly white box 'Sleeping' eyesore which defaced all my nice sleep screensaver covers. OK, maybe it wasn't a bug, as such, but definitely a negative enhancement feature. Anyway I, for one, was very glad to see the back of it!

What about "annotations in random order" bug in 3.0? Are bookmarks still mixed with other annotations, with no possibility to filter them?

This! I like the older banner. I miss percent read, but I don't want to see it in a big box in the middle of the cover.

The Touch firmware kept the old banner, but the Glo/Aura firmware has the ugly box, unfortunately. One would think that since the code is out there, it would be easy for Kobo to give users the three choices.

There's an option in the settings menu to turn off the "info box" - but it only works on the Sleep screen and is grayed out if you haven't selected full-size covers. With that combination, the Off screen doesn't change (black info box, "Powered off" and percentage) but the Sleeping screen does (white info box is gone).
