It took me multiple clicking of sync (30 or 40 times, probably more) over 2 days to finally get it. I really wanted it to fix a small but annoying glitch with newspapers so I was motivated. Now I desperately wish I could have 1.74 back for newspapers. It now takes
5 secs to switch articles (used to be same time as a page refresh),
7 sec to open an article from the list (again used to be same as a page refresh), and
30 seconds to use the "back to article" function (used to be 3-4)
. Kobo customer care tells me they checked with development team and this is the "new normal" behaviour so I'm rather bitter with the update currently.
