I've always preferred YYYY-MM-DD. Sorts really nicely too.
I'll mention that I've had this bug bite me exactly once, on one chapter transition on one book. It's definitely got something to do with the epub formatting. |

Ah yes thanks for that. I corrected the type in original post.

I completely agree with the stupidness of labelling international firmware with "wrong way round" days&months. Glad they seemed to change that in 2.3.2, I hadn't noticed. Thanks for your own correction! |

I only seem to get this when using books I have converted or edited the meta/cover with Calibre. Not had the problem with kepubs or things I have downloaded already in epub format.
Quick question to auspex: Are you Auspex from The Fossil Forum? |

Small fonts at chapter change seem to be one of the numerous "features" that came with 2.3.1. On my Kobo Touch, I press the Home button, then re-open the book: the pages are properly displayed again.
I also noticed: - Abnormal (enormous) battery consumption or measurement by software (also malfunctions of auto sleep and power off: this morning my Kobo was on though auto power off is set to 15 mn): Did someone notice this issue? Or is my battery (the Kobo is just one year old) already dead? - Numerous problems with last cover display: early 2.0 versions always displayed the previous book. 2.3 is often unable to "remember" some book covers. Does not depend upon the book. If I delete/reload it with Calibre, the issue often disappears. etc... Seems that this 2.3 series is a dismal failure like Windows Millenium or Vista... |

Grates tibi ago, Auspex! (even if you are not a fossil member, your screen name may mean you know Latin
A power-off cycle is not generally enough to refresh the cover on my Touch, but I agree with you: these bugs seem to be fairly random. As for battery over-consumption or rather misevaluation, it did not happen since my last post. But once, I met my Kobo asking for battery recharge though it had been plugged to the computer for at least 30 minutes rather shortly before. Maybe a process that keeps working in the background? I noticed the same phenomenon on a Mio PDA in 2006. The cursed Microsoft Activesync kept running all the time, woke up randomly and exhausted the battery. |

In my last message I noticed an enormous battery consumption.
This morning I found my Kobo, which was normally working last night, off, with message "Veuillez recharger votre liseuse" (please, recharge your e-reader). It became completely autistic. It does not react at all when I plug a charger or a computer. No light. Nothing happens. I already experienced the same problem: I was offered a Kobo for 2011 Christmas. It displayed the same message, and it was never able to do anything else. I brought it back to "La Fnac" (the French reseller of Kobo). I had to wait for a new one for more than one month. I got a new one in late January or early February 2012. And this one is dead within one year. Maybe I have it changed, but I certainly will switch to another e-reader. [Some time later] I must correct this message: the Kobo stayed unresponsive for several hours, and even the LED would not react when I plugged it to a charger or a computer. As the first Kobo I got had the same (lack of) behavior, and "once bitten, twice shy", I concluded it was dead. But in the end, when I plugged it again and again, the little LED shined again, the battery was displayed as if it was exhausted. After a charge, the Kobo is working again! And the battery consumption seems to be lower (to the moment). I keep thinking there is a parasite process in the software (v2.3.1). Last edited by Francois_C; 02-09-2013 at 06:00 AM. |
