- An another sub-issue: Some pdfs just make the device crash and reboot. Link to a conflictive book: Canon EOS 7D Mark II autofocus guide.
- Bad handling of pdfs which contain different page sizes/orientation. It seems the size reference is locked to the first page size, so in the rest of the document you can get cropped pages (in "bigger" pages) or huge white areas (in "smaller" pages). (Link to original thread).
More over Web Browser is somehow broken again. Good web-page to test: THIS ONE   - The font has been changed and because of its size these forums don't fit in the available horizontal space. They are WIDER than the screen size... (You have to horizontally drag the screen to fully read it).
- But when you drag and drop, sometimes a lot of the previous text/images is left. The device doesn't do a final refresh in order to clean all the left-over text. Result: unreadable web pages.
- Something about cookies is broken. I log in Mobileread and I tick the "Remember me" option. Then, I turn off the device, turn it on, I return to Mobileread again and I'm NOT remembered... I can swear this issue didn't happen in 3.8.0
Incredible, Kobo is just incredible... in each new release they break something new which previously worked more or less fine...

BUMP

My original post seems to have gone "unnoticed".
Am I the only one who uses the Web Browser?
