Kobo Touch - Converted EPUBs - Missing text

smg669 · 01-21-2014, 10:52 AM

Hi. I'm using Calibre to store my library which consists of a mix of non DRM EPUP and MOBI files. I have a few different readers - Kobo Touch, Kobo Glo, Kobo Aura. Before I send books I run them through an EPUB conversion (even the ones that are already EPUBs - I check the "Margins" box in Look and Feel/Filter Style so I can adjust the margins in the Kobo interface)

I'm finding that the Kobo Touch is having some sort of pagination issue. When you read a page on this device and get to the bottom and flip to the next page, the text does not pick up where it left off on the previous page. It's like there are bits of text missing. If you change the font size you can see the missing text, but then a different bit of text will be missing.

The same EPUB when loaded onto the Aura displays properly and the text reflows correctly regardless of the text size or margin settings applied in the Kobo interface.

Any tips on fixing this issue? Thanks in advance

F/w levels on the Kobo devices would help.

Thanks for your reply. I think you might be onto something.

I picked one of the files that I'm having issues with. It worked correctly on the following devices (could change font size and text properly reflowedO:
Kobo Aura (not HD) with software version 3.1.1 12/11/13
Kobo Glo with software version 3.1.1 (12/11/13)

The device that it's not working with is a Kobo Touch with software 1.9.9 (8/19/11).

I thought it was up to date - just did a full reset/restore. I'm off to update it now.

There were issues with some of the older f/w's and text going missing

Trust me; I reported it a few times on the Kobo Beta list
