Therefore, I can check for identical books on different firmware. Firmware 4.12 works correctly, 4.13 - NO. It is with epub



CURRENT chapter has always been reflected here (name chapter), at 4.13 - the first. The same with the content, the check mark always remains on 1 position in 4.13
The photo isn't that useful as you have cropped it in exactly the way to not show some of the details you are commenting on. With both 4.12.12111 and 4.13.12638, underneath the slider, I see a text version of the position. Exactly what is there depends on the format and the setting of the page progress. For "Current chapter", it displays the chapter name followed by "Page x of y". For "Entire book", it just displays "Page x of y".

For the arrows, again, it is working the same for both 4.12.12111 and 4.13.12638. And this is probably another symptom of the multiple-toc-to-file structure. For the epub I am reading, that has one ToC entry per file, the arrows work as I would expect. On the first page of the first chapter, the left arrows are disabled. As move through the book, they are enabled. Tapping either double arrow moves me to the next or previous chapter.

For my test book which has a single file and multiple ToC entries in it, the left arrows are never enabled. The right double arrow is enabled and moves to the second ToC entry, but doesn't move after that. The single arrows are working, but, the book isn't long enough to be exactly sure of what is happening. The page count shows as two, but, it has a lot of different font sizes and spacing, so is spread over a lot more screens than two. If the photo had included the chapter and page text, I'd be able to see what is happening for you better.

And it's not a book, it's a matter of errors in firmware 4.13
Well, I can't see the difference in behaviour between 4.12.12111 and 4.13.12638, but, I can see the difference between two books, so I can't agree.

Have already mentioned that the search does not work correctly with the series of books.
Yes, and I reported it to Kobo and it will be fixed in the next release.

I would also add that now it shows the volume of the SD card differently (not 29 but 32 gigabytes)
I hadn't noticed. It seems to be showing the installed storage size rather than the size of the book partition. If that is it, it will now match what the specs say for the device.
