You should also have quoted - and linked to - any relevant posts as well as written a short how-to highlighting any possible risks and pitfalls. That's the least one can expect.

Please avoid such posts as I'm now cleaning coffee off my keyboard, screen and self.

Hi,
I have noticed that the feature "PhraseTranslation" (available editing koboereader.conf) does not work more with fw 3.2.0 on my aura HD.
What about you guys? Is there a possibility to reactivate it?
It's very useful with reading books in other languages

Yes, it is almost as though davidfor is expecting people to work things out for themselves. Tsk, tsk.

Sub-par service is such a nuisance. I mean, what's the guy not getting paid for?

Yes, my Touch now also flickers black quite a few times when going into or coming out of sleep mode, it's really annoying and slow. Also I've got the wifi-bug now, so i'll problably revert to 3.0.1

Is it possible to revert to an older firmware but still keep your library (and read/unread-statusses) intact?

I have made a bad motion while trying to sweep that my Aura 6" understood as a pinch and zoom motion. The problem is to get back to the normal zoom : I can't find an option to set back as it was before (and reverse pinch and zoom to get back as it was is not accurate enough). Can someone point me how to set the zooming ?

I don't have an Aura to try it, but I assumed the pinch-and-zoom was just an alternate way of changing the font size. If so, you should be able to use the reading settings dialog to change the font size back.

I just tried this on my Aura. After I zoomed in and out, I was able to bring up the font menu as per normal and change the front size back to my preferred size from there, just as davidfor suggests.

I updated my mini just for kicks and am encountering a strange bug which I can't duplicate when I try. It seems that very slight finger touches on the lower part of the screen will trigger an 'annotate' on a page. I can't reproduce it when I try so I'm not sure what's happening exactly, but I never encountered this with any previous firmware version. It seems to happen every fifteen minutes or so and I'm sure it has something to do with the way my fingers 'brush' the screen as I'm always in an about-to-turn-the page grip when I read. It's just a little annoying. The update doesn't offer me any improvements that I can appreciate so I'll revert to a previous version and see if this happens again. Just thought I'd share.

3.2.0 was not intended for the mini. Not sure if that relates to your difficulties or not, freightgod.

Well, yeah, I knew that, I just thought it was a weird artifact regardless.

Well after some days with 3.2.0. in my AuraHD I can say that I like the new features but the device is clearly MUCH SLOWER. Everything (calling book menu, the time the dictionary takes to appear since a word has been selected, the changing dictionary button time response, calling menu in Web browser, calling favourites,...) is clearly slower.

Kobo has made something wrong. Speed is not a must in an ereader, but wasting it...

I tried that too but it seems to me that the cursor is way much to the right than before when I, at least, got a font size that suits me. So I wondered if there was some zoom setting somewhere. Thanks to Davidfor and you rone1986. I must add that "pinch and zoom" doesn't enable zooming in a picture (I tried that too...), it affects only the font size.
