Touch New Firmware and Desktop! - Page 4

I just played around with 1.9.10, and it definitely fixed that odd footnote/endnote bug that plagued the last release. Glad to see that fixed!

However, it has not fixed this dropcap rendering bug that I note here:

The time is correct. Thanks for your support.

I am so happy. Installed the update and the dreaded storage error has disappeared while leaving my bookmarks intact!

molman · 09-01-2011, 08:33 PM

I’m guessing all this language inclusion is priming the Kobo for an International release?

I haven't updated to 1.9.10 yet (actually still on 1.9.8, and wife's on 1.9.9). I preferred the non-fullscreen bookcovers believe it or not

Will report back when I get a chance to update, though it's heartening to hear that this appears to be resolving most people’s issues.

I did an over the air update about three hours ago and have no issues. But then, I mainly read kepubs and haven't had the storage error. I am working through a commercial epub from Sourcebooks by Georgette Heyer ... without incident.

Thanks again for the updates folks!

Hmm update not officially released to me yet, though I am up to v1.9.9 now

The bottom line on all of my epubs (sideloaded, DRM free) is broken. It has one of 2 issues:

either the line is *right* at the bottom, and any characters that drop below the line are have their bottoms clipped (ex g,j,p,y etc)

or, only the top part of a line shows, so only the high parts of taller characters show up (looks like a bunch of dots, the tops of h,l,k,t, and caps show up)

1.9.10, never happened with 1.9.9, this is new.

***SORRY*** I just noticed a page back that one of the Kobo Dev's has indicated they are able to reproduce and are planning to issue another update lickety split, so please disregard; and a big thanks for the quick response to the dev's. Sorry also for the harsh criticism on the factory reset issue, but *man* that was a major pain, and you guys were just so silent on it for such a long time, when it seemed that you were very active in discussing other comparatively insignificant issues and features.

This has already been noted (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=38) including work around.

No update yet for me either (in New Zealand if it makes any difference). In fact when I powered off and tried to connect to the updated kobo desktop I got the dreaded storage error. When I cancelled out ALL my books had gone so I was forced to do a factory reset - it updated my firmware, but only to 1.9.9. Here I go spending another hour loading books on again - in fact I may save myself the hassle and just load the one I'm reading at the moment.

Grrrr....

I was at that point about a week ago and have only had 2 or 3 books on my Kobo as I just lost the will to live after reloading them so many times.

This morning I "thought" I had updated - obviously having a bit of a blonde moment

which I put down to the stress of the storage error and total jubilation at the thought it might be over. So I loaded up 200 books and ZAP! - got myself another storage error.

Hi KiwiPippa - I had the same horrible experience when my Desktop software updated today. It gave be the dreaded storage error for the first time too, and I didn't get the KT firmware upgrade either.

At least after reloading everything my wireless connects to the store for the first time.

Cheers - and commiserations!

(still in Japan for another two weeks - went bear hunting yesterday, but only by air, looking for a brown bear that was reported close to the town and which was causing some concern. Didn't see anything sadly. Now waiting for the Typhoon to arrive, so having a lazy day with no flying because of heavy rain)

Terisa de morgan · 09-02-2011, 04:28 AM

I had the storage error so, after updating the desktop, it told me I had to do the factory reset to update the kobo, so I went to the direct way: I downloaded the file for the new release and loaded it into Kobo. Now, I have 1.9.10 release at my Kobo and no storage error.

Thanks

Try http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwa...ade-1.9.10.zip
unzip the contents into the .kobo directory on KT, then restart unit and it should upgrade...
