I've been experiencing the font cutoff issue as well. I sideloaded 3.3 onto my Aura HD that had multitouch320 installed.

With the FeatureSetting.FullScreenReading set to true, the document default font and Charis both result in cut off letters (didn't try any other fonts nor books other than sideloaded kepubs).
I am not at all surprised to find that you are seeing this problem with Charis SIL. I have occasionally seen something like this with beta firmware versions, and Charis SIL has always been the font. I have one book that shows this problem. It is a purchased kepub which I know has Charis SIL embedded in it.

Removing the FeatureSetting.FullScreenReading flag completely from the config file fixed the issue.
On the Glo, it seems to happen only when this is set, but for the Touch it doesn't matter.

Near as I can tell, on my Glo the collections sort being missing is still an issue -despite my having added the relevant line to the config file for the previous firmware... Haven't upgraded the Touch N905B yet to see if it is still an issue there. I'm guessing they have left it out of config and are replacing the config file with each update?
Yes, I think I have to take that one back. Someone else has reported it and my retest seems to agree. I'll have a look through my notes from the betas to see what's going on.

Something wierd I'm noticing in 3.3. My Aura HD isn't showing any of my Comic books or Manga. I can't find it in the search, nor in my book listing. I just double checked with calibre (and looking at the card) that the files are there. Is there something I need to do to read them again, or had kobo dropped support for digital comics?

Nevermind. I just had to delete all my cbz and cbr files and re-upload them. Now I see them just fine.

I was nearly convinced to update my Mini from 2.8.1 to obtain the FullScreenMode, but after reading about all those speed issues and bugs, I'll probably skip that update.....


What about kepub mode for side-loaded books - do full reading stats work? I remember that they had been disabled with some later firmware. This has been another reason for me to stick with 2.8.1...

@uboot: personally I don't have speed problems. Yes, closing a book is more slow, but now last page is displayed immediately if you reopen it. But I use the internal SD only.

Which speed issues? The only one I can think of is when new books are processed. It it probably worse than 2.8.1, but is better than 3.2.0. But, the main issue was the SD card. As the Mini doesn't have one...

Not to be rude, but that has been asked and answered several times in this thread. And if it was fix, don't you think you would hear it screamed from the rooftops?

And no, Kobo have not enabled this.

I've downloaded the zip file, unzipped and placed the contents into the main drive of my KOBO Aura but nothing happens. How can get the upgrade to start?

Thanks

I can also confirm that the web browser has become hard to use due to the virtual keyboard.
It is also impossible to to scroll/swipe the web page.

Suggestion: consider to add the character "/" to the main keyboard layout as it is needed when entering a url manually. Take also in consideration to add the "Caps Lock" function to the Shift function: keep the alphabet displayed in uppercase letters until the shift function is pressed again.

Positive note: the dog ear issue of fw 3.2.0 seems to be solved. With fw 3.2.0 the dog ear randomly appeared when tapping the lower right screen area (close to the bottom edge of the screen) instead of going to the next page.

Oh no, don't do that. It has to go in the .kobo folder. You can mess the device up, putting it in the main folder!

The options is "Show header and footer". It works as advertised and for both epubs and kepubs. If you make the change from within a book, you might need to reopen the book for it to take affect.
Thanks for this, works perfectly on the Aura with a sideloaded epub

Pressing the shift button twice turns on the CAPS lock. Press it again to release it.

Very good. I keep a document on my computer with the upgrade instructions, so I can find it quickly when I want to upgrade.

Can somebody please direct me to the upgrade instructions? I'd really appreciate it... I can't wait for the official update anymore. And another dumb question, will I still get official future updates even if I sideloaded this update?
