On sideloaded epubs it looked like this:
The actual data (publisher name) never was there. Which is strange as this is build-in in stock Adobe Reader Mobile software. Just as the ISBN number, which Kobo also has removed from the book details.
My previous bug report:
Book details: metadata publisher and ISBN not displayed
Note: I don't use any plugin to sideload epubs. I simply drag and drop the book. If the publisher name or any other metadata tag is displayed when using a plugin, well then there is still a bug in this firmware release.
This ancient reader (Qisda ES600, 2010) simply displays all enclosed metadata (all dc tags), it ignores unofficial metadata such as Calibre metadata tags.
This device was released under various brandnames but contained the same stock firmware. The main difference is the branding, these images are hardcoded into the firmware. Improvements to the firmware were rolled out to all vendors who sold these devices.
