You mean only the values, the address changes all the time ??
Didn't thought about that.
I am a bit,how to say, I just wait when a new firmware is there and first look to the error reports,then I make a choice,is this firmware good for me ?
I don't want to start a rant on Kobo but every firmware they release has maybe some fixes,but introduce new bugs also and sad but lately the bugs they introduce are bigger then the fixes they make,leaving old bugs active for many months.
Brings me to another problem, my girlfriend now owns a Kobo but she often have no time to read,when she calls the reader alive, with the patch the footer is always below the bezel ( I mean page xx of xx )
The only way to make it looks okay is to go into font settings,change the margins a bit,then it renders and it is okay.
Is there no way to prevent this from happening ? I think it is also the reason that Kobo uses the big footers,just to be sure that it all fits the reading window ?
