I turned on WiFi and let the Kobo WiFi update itself to 1.9.12. Much nicer, except (there's always something) now Calibre has trouble with it. Error message says that the device has been updated to a newer database that Calibre can't understand? Huh? This firmware is from 2014? (But I'll take this to the Calibre (Device) forum.) Calibre will still let me send a book to the device, it just won't show (with a green check mark) that's it's there, nor will it let me delete any books from the device (which, for now, I'm just doing directly through my file manager). As I said, otherwise the new firmware displays much nicer. I don't need the full screen as the WiFi seems to handle full screen fine without the hack. Constantia looks great on it. I kind of like Kobo WiFi (now that I know how to embed fonts in Calibre -- I had one before that I didn't like at all).

EDIT: Meant to add, now the Kobo WiFi respects my margins from Calibre. The original firmware (1.9) didn't.
