I am experiencing a massive problem with this update.
I got installed automatically just earlier today for me.
I have a bunch of epubs loaded with calibre.
Reading is fine.
However If I go back to home the book percent read is updated and seems appropriate.
However when I go back to the book, either from Home (as recent read) or manually from books/collections it opens up at the page I was last reading before the update the had occurred.
For example, I was at page 103 (of 234) in a book before it updated. The home page listed it at 44% read. I open the book and read to page 106 and go to "Home". It shows 45% read now, but when I open the book again it opens at page 103.
Even worse, if I use the slider from "<->" to pick a page number it doesn't update the percent when I go back and home and once again opens at the previous page.
Shutting down and restarting the kobo doesn't fix anything.
It doesn't seem to be saving any new reading positions at all.
Even worse, some books don't seem to be acknowledged at all. I can open them up and they don't even show up in recently read and simply open back at whatever page (or the start if I hadn't started yet) I was at before the update happened.
This makes the kobo kind of useless at the moment.
I think I had left the wifi off and had not actually updated the firmware for several years. I had accidently turned it on and it auto-updated before I knew it.
Does anyone have some suggestions.
Everything was working perfectly before this.
Edit: The "Home" page changed on me too.
I used have a larger single "recently read" on the upper left. A cascading of covers showing new books in the upper middle. I don't remember what was on the right side or lower as I never used them.
Now it is 4 recently read on the upper half with a "my books" that seems to be cascading covers for "new" in the lower left and then it seems to be same author cascading covers in the lower right.
Thanks
