It did not take nearly 2 week for me to receive 3.12.0 via WiFi. I waited until a few days after the patch was available and then I did the update via a sync. So no, it doesn't take always take 2 weeks or more.

If you sync directly from your Kobo reader, you can get new firmware just about immediately when it's released. Just be forewarned if there are any major bugs, you will get those too (but you could always downgrade to the previous version if that happens).
Just edit the affiliate.conf file to read BestBuyCA like so (the file is located in the .kobo directory): [General] affiliate=BestBuyCA |

Darn it, I synced to download a dictionary, and now it's updating, I presume to 3.12. I think I'll take it back to 3.11 when it's done.

I suggest you stay at 3.12.0. I have not found any new issues with 3.12.0 and the patch to the font size slider is now for 40 iterations so you can have just about any size you think you'll want/need. Plus, there are some fixes that are useful like the sans-serif font being fixed.

Or I will, except that it's frozen. sigh. I hate syncing Kobo devices. eta that glo didn't update. But I put 3.12.0 on my Mini and my Aura and patched them. Don't really see any difference between 11 & 12. Last edited by booklover6; 12-16-2014 at 01:28 PM. |

As to difference, there wasn't much. The purpose of this version was to add review function. There were a couple of fixes. My post near the start of this thread lists most of the changes. |

Just because I don't use a feature doesn't mean others don't. It's not nice of Kobo to remove functionality from the firmware.

Recently I've been observing a non-connectivity to the Pocket account. As a result, I cannot update the files from Pocket to my Kobo Aura H2O. I've tried doing the same thing on my Ipad and everything worked just fine (the files were saved to the account from a desktop PC). Powering off and on the Kobo doesn't seem to do the job...
Any ideas, whatsoever? Thanks! |

That recommendation glitch is getting to me. I had my recommendations fairly well refined and now I can't get to them either. I just get the repeated questions with no click through to the actual list.

Crosspost from the Kobo Bug Thread:
Hi; I'm new to this forum and am having an issue with the new 3.12.0 software and Kobo's customer support has not been helpful. It seems like the "Refresh every: Chapter" option makes the screen go black between pages with every page turned forward or backward. The "10", "5" and "1" page options work 'properly', but I'd rather have it refresh every chapter, obviously. Has anyone noticed this? Is this a bug or is this something you all know how to fix? thanks |

I use "1-page" rather than "chapter", but I just tested the latter on my Aura6" and agree that chapter-refresh does appear to be broken in fw 3.12. I don't know whether it was working properly in fw 3.11.

Stick with 1 then unless you apply the patches in which case, you can use 12. I'm set to 12 and it works very well that way. I don't read kepub.
