So:
The firmware has worked like this for a while. It's probably close to two years since this was added. You can also play with these settings using my Kobo Utilities plugin in calibre. It can remove the settings or change them for each book or a group of books. And it can update the config file. Last edited by davidfor; 09-23-2014 at 06:38 AM.

Hmm. My Touch screen is now stuck on the one book cover for Sleep or Powered Off mode. It's running 3.8.0, upgraded by the Kobo desktop; only thing I've changed was using the setting in the firmware to show the cover full-screen and remove the status banner on the display. Whatever book I open, it goes back to the same cover when it then goes to sleep.
I haven't tried deleting that book, because I'm worried that if it's being treated like a system fie it might brick the device. Anyone else seen this? Worked around it? I know I could just reset the device and try again, but I'm curious first whether this is a common(ish) problem and it's simply going to come back, before I waste my time. It's mostly cosmetic at this point. |

Mac, I am very, very happy with 3.8.0. I have it running on 4 devices. The only times I have had problems, I believe there was a bad file on a glo. I had put a huge number on. When I removed most of the newly added books, no more problems. (It could have been a bad book, or it could have been the fact that I added a few thousand at once...not really supposed to that!)

Thanks booklover, yeah I'm pretty happy with it as well. There are a couple of bits that either misbehave, like the bookcover (on my device, at least), and a couple of things I'd like to see changed.
jackie_w, thanks for the reply. I've just checked the date/time, and they're correct. But I keep wireless disabled, so the device has no way to know that anyway. |

A quick question to the experts:
With ADE 4.0 being out, I thought I'd do a bit of googling after that and RMSDK, and it seems that RMSDK 11 is out now, which is supposed to support most epub3 features, but of course has all the switches to implement that dreaded hardened DRM. So what with Kobo confining anything looking remotely like epub3 to their kepub prison, I was wondering if anyone here might know which version of RMSDK is implemented in the current FW?

As for confining anything with a v3.0 in the header, it makes sense. Just for giggles, download a epub3 FLO ebook and open it with ADE 2.0. Not a pretty sight. Last edited by DNSB; 09-23-2014 at 01:52 PM. |

Thanks. It will be interesting to see if they'll let us download ebub3 books via ADE once they implement RMSDK 11.

I'm hoping that they will switch to using one renderer. Using their DRM with RMSDK should be doable. MIght be a bit of a PITA for the Sony ereader owners they have inherited since I'm rather doubtful they will be getting any firmware updates.

What they did was remove all dictionary's exept the Dutch one so they have to pay less rights for the missing dictionary, only the firmware of the normal T2 and T3 doesn't upgrade the N models, so they never got an update. As sony announced to stop with the development and selling of the e-readers, I am sure that there will be no upgrade... I have an old 650 here that for sure would not be updated..so I don't know exactly what to do but when the epub 3 would be the standard, a lot of editing and rebuilding I think ? |
