There definitely seems to be a trick to it; I had to experiment a bit to get the hang of it, but it does work. Up is brighter, down is dimmer. |

I noticed today that after downloading an epub from calibre content server my Aura HD running 3.8.0 popped up a message saying the download was done. I can't recall that ever happening before. Just tested on my Aura running 3.3 and it doesn't give me a popup message when download finishes, is this a change in behavior or just a random thing?
After updating my Aura and some more testing this is definitely a change in the browser behavior. I like that it tells me the download is done now, unfortunately if I download a second epub in the same browser session I get the download done popup twice, download a third file and I get it 3 more times. I stopped after 5th epub and 5 popups but suspect it would continue that way endlessly. Thankfully it is only downloading each file once, but the multiple pop-ups that you have to respond to for each file is crazy. Last edited by jiminrussell; 08-28-2014 at 11:10 PM.

dictionaries
I noticed changes in the dictionary calls with 3.8 last night. I'd already noticed a bug with Spanish a few versions back (I reported it in the bug thread) but this is different: Kobo apparently decided to go to a translation dictionary instead of single language for the first pop-up when appropriate, considering the translation dictionaries always turn around English. I know many people prefer it, but with how poor the kobo dual language dictionaries are (possibly apart from the English-French one), I'm afraid it won't be much use to them - Sony dictionaries were much better.
At present, with my language defined as the usual French
I understand that most of this corresponds to majority wishes, though I would like an option to choose single language as a first choice - not to speak of decent translation dictionaries - but I DON'T understand why, while implementing all this, kobo didn't solve the reported Spanish bug. |

For those who are asking, IMHO the 3.8 fw is better than the 3.5 fw

That left-edge light thing really rocks. I'm trying to recreate that bookmark bug but it's not happening. I'm mostly using side loaded tho.

Only way to remove the bookmarks and not get a reboot is when you are in the annotations list,choose options and delete all. |

I like fw 3.8.0 so far, it feels more responsive and open the books faster on my Kobo Aura. I still have some big math textbook which I bought from Kobo, so it's their kepub, and it still takes like 15 sec to open (on my desktop the same thing), but all the other side loaded ones open in a blink.
My Kobo Aura is from Fnac, I had to manually update. Thanks for posting the link. |
