Hello:
After a couple of Calibre 3.24.2 syncs (no problems whatsoever) and a few turn-off / turn-on cycles, I'll report that, having +11K e-books on a 32Gb Class 4 uSD SanDisk Card, organized on +340 collections, my Kobo Aura 2013 experience on Firmware 4.8.11073 is as follows:
- There is a consistent 23 seconds lag when I switch from current reading to the Home screen
- Also a 8 seconds lag to reach the Search engine from the reading screen or from the Home screen or vice versa
- Collections access time is a 16 seconds affair, either from Home Screen, library or reading
- The rest of the functions and the features work with no problems or delay at all, though I've yet to test the browser; not a critical feature to me
Arguably, the lag time might be explained because I have a
huge library of either e-books or Collections on an Aura 2013 hardware.
I do enjoy the look and feel of the interface and the library features of this firmware, so I'm not planning on downgrading to a previous firmware... unless someone is aware of a 4.* version that works with
no lag on an Aura 2013 housing a library
such as mine...
Kindly yours,
INCANUS
