Bookmark issue with Libra H2O
I have a libra H2O and I'm having issues with bookmarking pages. It has been working very sporadically.
If I click the top right to bookmark the page, the ear bend graphic shows up. But when i go to view the bookmarks there is nothing there under any view or filter setting. But closing and opening the book still shows the bent ear if i manually navigate to that page. I've reconverted the book to kobo kepub format and cleared the book from the device and reloaded it via calibre, but it simply doesn't work. However, I find that sometimes if I navigate earlier or later into the book and bookmark something it shows up in the bookmark list, but then going back and bookmarking a previous page will show the ear bend but not the bookmark in the list. I'm currently using the Dracula epub from Gutenberg site and all the latest updates, firmware, calibre, plugins, etc. I convert the epub to kepub and send it to the device. The statistics option also doesn't show up most of the book. and seems to be directly related. if i see the statistics icon, the bookmark will work. If i don't it will ear bend but not show in the list. When the bookmark is not in the list and i close the book it will open to the book cover upon next launch. But if the bookmark shows and i close it it opens back to where it was. Could this be an issue with the conversion? Plugin? I found one other instance of someone having this issue online on a similar kobo device, but not the libra h2o but there were no replies... anything i could try? it's frustrating to have to find my page everytime. update: notes, highlights, and annotations act the same exact way and show their status in the book itself, but don't show up in the bookmark list.

update 2: i logged out and in which reset my database, and it still doesn't work as expected.
update 3: even though the bookmarks/annotations section says there are no bookmarks, if i choose remove all and hit yes, the bent ear bookmark icon disappears from the page i bookmarked. i also tried the repair account option in the settings. no change..

I have had a similar issue after many software patching. Don't know how to gently resolve your problem but in my case devmodeon, developer option and factory reset do the trick.

As I haven't put much on the device yet I will do a reset. It did apply updates when I first activated it. But otherwise, it is brand new and I only loaded a few books for testing. I have a kindle oasis as well and have been comparing them. I actually prefer the kobo assuming the glitches don't break the experience. The kindle has worked flawlessly otherwise. :-/ |

Are you seeing bookmark problems only in converted books, or can you also reproduce this with KePub books purchased from Kobo?

what is frustrating is that i can't reproduce it now even in my dracula book. and it was working originally too. so i have no idea what causes it or when it will happen again...

i downloaded some free kobo edition classic books. of course I have no idea what causes it, and it isn't currently happening in my Dracula book either, so I'll have to test and see...

For the record, the most likely reasons for something like this to happen are:
From the original report, I don't know which of the above is the most likely to have been the cause. |

not sure how to apply spans? is that the plugin or something i can edit in the book? like certain css spans? the converted file seems odd to me. instead of css classes, they all appear to be .calibre classes. and I'm not sure what they should look like or how the chapter files related to the toc. i have web coding knowledge and it looks like an epub is basically a web page in a zip file. go figure... i just don't know the epub specific traits.... |
