Since I'm using a password manager and simply copy-pasting my password I'm pretty sure that the password form truncates or somehow alters the password without telling the user.

It would be great if the password form for told you straight away that your password is too long/invalid.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Up until now, everything was fine. When I transferred a book from Calibre (9.8) to my Clara Kobo HD (up to date), I could see the page count in the book details (without having installed the Kobotouchextended plugin). Now, for the last three transfers, the page count (visible in Calibre) no longer appears on the Clara. In Calibre, in the device settings, in the "book statistics" field, I've kept the syntax of the template that was working: {pages}. Has something changed ?]]></description>

			<title>Has anyone patched Thai UI fonts on firmware 5.x?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[I’m using a Tolino Vision Color that has been switched into Kobo mode on the newer 5.x firmware branch (currently 5.12.232736).

Everything is working surprisingly well:

* Kobo UI works
* KEPUB works
* Thai fonts can be used inside books
* Reading Thai content is fine

But I still have one issue:
Thai book titles in the Kobo UI / My Books screen still show as &#9633;&#9633;&#9633;&#9633; (square boxes).

Things I already tried:

* Installed Thai fonts (Prompt / Noto Sans Thai Looped) in `/fonts`
* Set Thai language metadata in Calibre
* Converted books to KEPUB
* Set Thai font as main reading font + supplemental font
* Renamed fonts to Avenir / RakutenSerif names
* Rebuilt font cache

The reader layer works fine, but the UI layer still doesn’t display Thai glyphs.

Has anyone successfully patched Thai UI fonts on firmware 5.x?
Or found the correct font path / font alias used by the UI layer?


Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Apologies, I know this has been covered in the past, but none of the changes I made in preferences seem to fix it. 

I have the page layout set to flow mode, and I've tried converting files to HTMLZ (which I saw as a suggestion in a previous thread). 

Is there a setting where I can click the mouse wheel to allow continuous scrolling, or perhaps this isn't a feature w/in Calibre. 

Thank-You!]]></description>

It really shouldn't be an issue, but it distracts me an reminds me of the passage of time, something unwelcome especially late at night. It also shows me the wifi icon on the top right sometimes. This only started happening recently and I'm curious if theres a way to turn it off. :blink:]]></description>

			<title>Other Fiction Schilling, Gustav: Guido von Sohnsdom. (german) V1. 16 May 2026</title>

			<description><![CDATA[*Friedrich Gustav Schilling * (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Gustav_Schilling) (25. November 1766 in Dresden — 30. Juli 1839 ebenda) war ein deutscher Dichter und Belletrist. Bekannt ist er bis heute durch seinen erotischen Roman Die Denkwürdigkeiten des Herrn v. H. 

1781 ging er auf eigenen Wunsch zur Armee, wo er schließlich zu einer Artillerieeinheit nach Freiberg kam und dort eine Offizierslaufbahn einschlug. Bereits nach 1800 gehörte Schilling, neben August Friedrich Ernst Langbein, August Lafontaine und Heinrich Clauren zu den bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Unterhaltungsschriftstellern in Deutschland. (nach Wikipedia)

*Guido von Sohnsdom.* Vier Theile. Crazische Buchhandlung. Freyberg und Annaberg, 1791-96.

Der Roman „Guido von Sohnsdom“ (erschienen ab 1791 in mehreren Teilen) ist das erfolgreichste und bekannteste Frühwerk des deutschen Dichters und Unterhaltungsschriftstellers Friedrich Gustav Schilling. Es handelt sich dabei um einen typischen empfindsamen Abenteuer- und Bildungsroman der Goethezeit, der stark von amourösen Verwicklungen geprägt ist.

Der Roman schildert in autobiografisch anmutender Ich-Erzählung den Lebens- und Reifeweg des jungen Protagonisten Guido:
Guido wächst behütet auf, wird jedoch schon früh von intensiven, erwachenden Gefühlen und moralischen Predigten („Knabengefühle“, „Die Bußpredigt“) geprägt. Seine Jugend ist ein ständiges Wechselspiel zwischen familiären Pflichten, religiösen Zweifeln und emotionalen Entdeckungen.
Um seinen Platz in der Welt zu finden, bricht Guido aus dem bürgerlich-familiären Kosmos aus und wird Soldat in der Garde („Ich werde Soldat“, „Die Garde“). Das Soldatenleben bringt ihn in Kontakt mit Gefahren, gesellschaftlichen Realitäten und neuen Kreisen.

Das zentrale Motiv des Romans ist Guidos Liebesleben. Er verstrickt sich in leidenschaftliche Beziehungen zu verschiedenen Frauenfiguren – allen voran Julchen. Seine Gefühlswelt schwankt dabei im zeittypischen Stil der Empfindsamkeit ständig zwischen unschuldiger Schwärmerei, erotischem Begehren und tiefem emotionalen Schmerz („Amor“, „O Julchen! Julchen!“).

Schilling traf mit diesem Werk exakt den Nerv des zeitgenössischen Lesepublikums. Der Stil ist lebhaft, leichthin und oft humorvoll-launig, spart aber auch nicht mit moralischen Reflexionen über die Schwächen und die Natur des Menschen. Aus literaturhistorischer Sicht gilt der Roman als Paradebeispiel für die damals florierende Leihbibliothek- und Unterhaltungsliteratur, die sich abseits der klassischen Hochliteratur bewegte.

			<description><![CDATA[When reading comics, if I move my finger on the screen, a prompt about installing an OCR engine pops up. I'm not interested in OCR, but the prompt won't disappear automatically. It keeps showing up every page I turn until I reopen the comic!

How can I disable this prompt? It seriously affects my experience of reading comics on KOreader. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

Thanks!]]></description>

			<description>So I bought used kindle scribe 2024...
-I connected it to my pc and loaded some files to fill it up before entering my account.
-I connected to wifi and entered account so now i can use it. Current firmware is 5.19.2
-It tried to update firmware by itself but returned update error 10 (I guess because there is no space for update.

And now the questions:

1. Should I update or remain on current fw?
2. I guess that the only way to disable WIFI is to turn on airplane mode?
3. If I turn on airplane mode how to transfer files to the device?
4. Should I use KCC or Calibre for converting CBR/CBZ comics files?

Thank You in advance!</description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm trying out Calibre's "isolated" install in Bazzite (an atomic and immutable distribution).  So far, it looks like it's working.  But, that install does not create a .desktop file (that I can find).  I've pieced together what I think is a bare-minimum .desktop file:


Code:
---------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Calibre
Comment=Calibre E-book Manager
Exec=/home/[username]/calibre-bin/calibre/calibre
Icon=/var/home/dave/calibre-bin/calibre/resources/content-server/calibre.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
---------
Does any of that look wrong?  Is there anything else that should go in that file?]]></description>
