I also replace covers with hi-res art whenever possible. When it comes to the size of the books, those 775 books take up around 900 MB, so just over a megabyte in size on average.

(I do enable "upload B/W covers", which I guess saves a bit of space for the highest-res covers.)

Is it weird that I haven't yet received the update? I'm from Portugal, but I always received the updates when mentioned here.

I have a Kobo Touch.

Today I had to log out of my account. When I logged in, there was an update available

I haven't tested it yet since the Aura HD is busy getting all the Pocket articles that I should have read long ago

For some (to me of course unknown) reason the server sends again 3.2.0 (Edit: 2.6.2 for Mini), if the affiliate is Kobo. With (some?) other affiliates, except Rakuten, which still sends 2.6.0 (3.1.0 for Aura 6"), the server sends 3.3.0 (Edit: 2.6.2 for Mini).

When I logged out from my account, the affiliate was set to Kobo. After the update and logging in (in think it was in that order), it was the default FNAC affiliation.

Gallips · 05-02-2014, 08:57 AM

My affiliate is Fnac (Still asking myself why...) and still no update. I've logged out and logged in again. Let's see if it works for me.

I'm in Portugal also and updated yesterday, but I bought my glo in eBay from a UK seller. Also this time it only took a few days to update in the past I waited from one week up top almost a month

tempest@de · 05-02-2014, 12:47 PM

I updated the glo and enabled the full screen mode changing the conf. file, I had no problems with the margins, and I really like how it shows but I noticed something that I don’t remember reading comments about.

I have a sleep cover and when I open it the glo wakes up and shows the cover off the book, for it to show the text I must touch the screen but doing so it changes the page, forward or backward depending off were I touch the screen, is this a new thing or has it been discussed and I don’t remember it?

The first time I saw the cover I thought that it was sleeping, so I waked it up with the button and then it went sleeping so I pressed the button again and saw a change in the cover, when sleeping it says so and shows the percentage reed and when it wakes up shows only the cover in full page.

I searched around but didn't find the post...would you mind pointing me in the right direction.

/EDIT NVM, found it buried in the upgrade thread:

[FeatureSettings]
FullScreenReading=true

It looks like it's not working properly ATM.

To reduce your frustration levels, I would suggest you edit your affiliate.conf and get the update! Kobo's "staggered" style of releasing is just insane. There's no downside of choosing an affiliate from a different country, is there?

Code:

[General]
affiliate=bestbuyca

Does simply changing the affiliate works?

Garu · 05-02-2014, 04:26 PM

A little bit

, but I'm really curious: why isn't the latest firmware available to all users at the same time?

PeterT · 05-02-2014, 04:47 PM

At one time a Kobo representative told me they waited until they had approval from the affiliate before releasing it for that given affiliate.

Change the affiliate, disconnect from your computer, and then do a sync on the Kobo.

I've done it twice so far, with no problems at all.
