To be fair, it worked that way because you are using outdated firmware. Not because Kobo just changed it.

But as I asked earlier, how useful is 'go to page xxx' in one of those omnibus books? I'd still think you're better off using the table of contents. It's not like you can say "Great Expectations starts on page 3,527, and if I want to go to chapter two, I need page 3,549." Just use the table of contents.

And the table of contents is now indented, making it more useful in one of those omnibi.

I can empathize, but since moving on from the old firmware, my Kobo is faster and more stable than it used to be. That's been the case for a while, which is why when I lost the tiles, I shed a few tears, but never moved back. Searching collections used to freeze the reader for half a minute. Now? No lag at all.

And collections and series have their own separate tabs, which is much better than the old way.
