2.3.1 oddities
Just a couple of comments about updating to 2.3.1:
Books that do not specify font size as part of the chapter body have an odd glitch of dropping to the smallest font size when you page to a new chapter. Looking at the font size slider shows it at the normal position, moving it one step larger or smaller and then back restores the font to the normal size. Noted on Timespike by Eric Flint and Marilyn Kosmatka which was converted to epub by an old version of Calibre (Baen seems to have used Calibre a lot to convert their earlier ebooks to epub format). After editing the file to change the <body> tags to <body class="epub"> where 'epub' is defined in the stylesheet and has a font-size definition, the font size issue vanished.
As an experiment, I tried setting the version number in the version file to 4.9.9 and the Touch did not update though it was actually running 2.1.5 and had auto-updated to 2.3.1 earlier. Changing the version number back to 2.2.9 allowed the auto-update to work. Might be of interest to those who do not want their Kobo to auto-update.
It took longer than 2.2.1 to process the uSD cards when I inserted them into the Touch or Glo after the upgrade. OTOH, the covers and books seem to stay in sync and you get used to watching the two second delay between each cover thumbnail on the home screen being drawn.
Regards,
David
