The number's not italicized, and it's not immediately obvious that (a) that text would be anything other than informational or (b) "of" is italicized.

Now, if it said Page: 1 of 184 - with the colon and the italicized numbers - that would be a bit more obvious. Even so, that field's between two Very Obvious triple-line menu icons and is neither part of the shaded bar (as the other selectors are) nor accompanied by a down-caret (as the list name is), all of which combines to downplay the number's tappability. In short, it's the only tappable element on the screen that is not accompanied by some other indicator that it is tappable, and "these two letters are in italics" is a very weak indicator for that status.

At least, in my opinion.
You're right, it isn't obvious. They should have put the "Page" in italics. But, as every single other UI element that is in italics is tappable, it would be strange if it wasn't tappable.

At least they had to build in the possibility of manually entering pages in books, on both Glo and Aura HD there is only the slider and it is very sensitive,the only selectable is the table of Contents but that brings you only near the place you want to be.. even my oldest Sony 650 has a way to manually enter page numbers,I asked Kobo many times,but wy would they listen... but I know for sure many people want to have this feature..
As for the battery lost... I only read with my Aura HD that is on 2.50 with backlight on.
Since I am released from hospital 1,5 week ago it was still running on the same load.
Yesterday I forgot to put out wifi ( wifi insommnia is switched off in the patch ) and this morning it was totally empty.
Allso noticed the day before that I used wifi and didn't close it, the wifi symbol was lit when I opened the sleepcover,so I opened the browser, the reader didn't ask me to open wifi, so it was "thinking" that it was still on,like indicated and gave an error.
I first had to put it off,then open the browser again and then it asked me "will I enable wifi" so I think this drains the battery, it doesn't shut off the wifi properly after a certain amount of no activity, not even when the reader go's into sleep mode.

ETA is never. 3.8.0 is now the current firmware being rolled out.

3.8.0 wasn't reported as being out until a full day after that exchange. Way to "correct" now-outdated info.

If 3.8.0 would be.. we need a new topic and a new patch ???
(It isn't in the direct firmware download section so first someone has to "catch" the firmware)

A question was asked and when I came upon said question, I answered based on information I read in another thread. Does it matter that when you asked, there was no 3.8.0 in the wild? Not a lick. What matters is that I gave the correct answer at the time I did answer.

They were probably sitting next to my grammar/spelling/makes sense checker when I missed the word "end".

My Kobos never updated automatically, as they usually do.

Has the world-wide roll-out been completed?

Or do you think I should wait a bit longer?

In the thread on 3.8.0, it's being said to change your affiliate to BestBuyCA and you'll get 3.8.0 much faster.

Of course it does, since you replied to me instead of the person who asked. That turns "answering the question" into "correcting an answer."

No, what matters is that you felt the need to "correct" someone else's answer rather than either answer the question directly or simply note that there's been a new development. The former comes off as tactlessly offensive; the latter is neutral at worst.

Thanks, Jon.

I was actually curious about the 3.5.0 - and why I have never received it.

ADDED: If 3.5.0 has been terminated, then 3.8.0 has yet to be scheduled for the area in which I live.
