I pretty much hate everything about this update except the annotations being easier to reach, but worst of all is that the fixed page numbers are gone. I read with pretty big text, and now a normal length book will display as around 900 pages, just like shitty iBooks, which is messing not just my ability to mark out pages for my studies but also my mental map of the book. couldn’t they have added the option of fixed or fluid page numbers?
For a person who got an e-reader specifically for studies, and who changes font size throughout the day, this is more than a mere nuisance and in the “beyond useless” territory. I wish there was a way to downgrade, but I tried a full reset and the firmware stayed the same. My device doesn’t do anything but produce log files when I try sideloading firmware :/ Has anyone else had his problem? I only read about people dropping the unzipped firmware folder in .kobo and then voilà, the firmware updates?
Does it ever help to complain directly to Kobo and where would one go about doing that?
