Regarding the 2.9.x update, I might update the Aura HD but not the Mini until we know more about the sideloaded kepubs |

For the Aura HD and Glo, I think the addition of Pocket is worth the upgrade when the firmware comes out. We don't know if this will ever get to the Tocuh and Mini. But, if you have more than 2000 books on the device, the change in cover image handling should help. |

I really hope "we" find a way to make the stats reappear for the sideloaded kepubs, it is my favorite function... but because the pic zoom is such a great improvement, I think I'll have to use the new 2.9.x when it comes out.
Re 2.8.1: in the end I updated. It was smooth except the fact I had to abort the annotation/readinglife/whatever sync that the kobo desktop app was attempting (i have no annotations anyway) because it wasn't working, after 1 h it was still at.. say.. 10%, frozen (only that, I could do other things with the app!). So I didn't know if it had updated or not (I saw it had DL the update though, but I didn't know if aborting those sync would have compromised the update), I ejected the device and it said "updating" then I checked the fw when it was done and it was 2.8.1. MAH. anyway, it works, so all is fine |

Even though I've read each and every post of this thread, now I don't remember all that has been said so I'm sorry if this isn't something new.
So far, I haven't experienced the long paragraph bug except on one book (supposedly bad formatted, though). Since it was short, I didn't mind. Right now I'm reading A Song of Ice and Fire, the four-book bundle. This is the (original) kepub version so I can pick the Mini or the Aura HD and just read. On both of them, the fonts are usually Ubuntu and Deja Vu Serif. Yesterday, I wanted something thicker and the ability to use TypeGenius so I tried Kobo Nickel and just like that only about half of the screen was covered with text Then I switched to Malabar and the page was back to normal Is there a relation between the italic/bold issue and the way the paragraphs are handled? I was tired so I didn't try all the stock fonts, actually I couldn't read further than half the chapter. |

AFAIK it has nothing to do with the bold/italic bug, but it is influenced by font type and font size: Changing one of these can make the bug disappear for the page you're on, but that doesn't mean it won't be back a few pages later.
Why don't you use metazoa's patch to get rid of the bug? Although that might not work for kepubs. I only use epubs, and for them it works like a charm. |

I tried a smaller font size on Kobo Nickel, to no avail. What is strange is the text wasn't bigger when I switched to Malabar, yet the page was covered with text as it should be. Actually being once in nine months it doesn't happen too often for me trying to fix it. Also I didn't want to use Kobo Nickel in the first place, just check how it looked like. |

I'm having a lot of problens with this upgrade(I'm so annoyed that I'm thinking in selling my aura and buy a kindle _ _" )
Is there any way to fix this problens? - almost every book you have on the device to freezes when you open in the first page of a chapter? - when you stop in the Middle of a chapter and close the book and then when you go back to your reading, you notice that it open in the bengining of the chapter? -Make the kobo touch plugin go back to work? I'm sorry for the terrible english ah, there's anyway to go back to the previous firmawares? Last edited by juliana000; 09-27-2013 at 03:19 AM. |

The device config file. It is in the directory ".kobo/Kobo" and is called "Kobo eReader.conf".
