Question Kobo Aura screensaver off centered? How to fix?



I just bought two Kobo Aura and just got it yesterday.

I bought the books Free Souls from Kobo. And it's a drm free book. So I put it into calibre and did some small changes to the book.

But as you can see the Kobo Aura on the left screensaver is off centered. While the Kobo Aura on the right has the screensaver centered.

Also both Kobo has the same settings and update. And same the exact book.


Update: I just did a factory reset on the Kobo on the left and now the image is centered. I guess the Kobo was keeping a old book image on the device even though I deleted the book from the Kobo and sent it back.

So my new question is how do I completely delete a book and image of the cover on my Kobo Aura? My update is 3.15.0

The cover images are kept in a memory buffer, so if you update the cover it will continue using the old image until it gets pushed out of the buffer, this happens even if you delete the old book before loading a new version with a different cover.

Turning the device off and on again should be enough to clear the memory buffers.

Should have read GeoffR's message before replying. Power cycle was my suggestion.

Thank you very much GeoffR. Turning off and on the device, worked. Now my screensaver book covers look perfect.

I just read GeoffR message. I never replied back. This is my first reply.
The comment about replying was aimed at me. I read your message, replied to it and then realized that GeoffR has given the same advice. So I removed the redundant content from my message but left a comment to remind me to read the thread before replying. Bad enough adding a redundant response in a thread with pages of messages but in a thread with only two messages?
