Firmware 3.13.1 (Japan only?)

[dordale]

arspr--

I figured it out! Sorry for not checking this before--it's not the margins within the ePub/kepub, it's the margin settings on my HD. I thought I had the slider set to no margins, but it was in just a little. When I move the margin slider all the way to the left to completely turn off margins on the device, my HD acts the same way as your H2O when choosing a word on the right.

Well, because of your last post I've made some more tests and I've found some interesting effects...

Look at the attached pictures. As it happens with trimmed fonts the issue is worsened if you enable Fullscreen mode.

• In normal mode, as dordale was experiencing, you only get this rightmost selection issue in justified text when margins are 0. But in Fullscreen it always appears.
• There's something weird when enabling/disabling fullscreen mode. Margin settings are either not applied or are applied twice till you touch the margin slider.
• Forget about the word selection trouble but compare 1 and 4. Fullscreen should only affect to the available vertical room. But it is also interfering in the available horizontal space. Look how "He" is moved from the end of the 5th line to the beginning of the 6th one.
• And, of course, look how "fifty" in the beginning of the second line is trimmed in Fullscreen but not in normal mode (again 1 and 4).

Look at the attached pictures. The problem arises when you long-press on a word in the right border of the screen in order to call dictionary and/or highlight it.

• The right marker is missing
• Dictionary is not called.

I think the solution for this problem is the same as the solution to the side bearing cut-off problem: Make sure you are using the latest KoboTouchExtended driver to create your KePubs, and add

div#book-columns {padding: 0.2em !important;}

to the book's stylesheet (or to kobo_extra.css if using that driver option)

For Kobo-synced KePubs the `Fix KePub side bearing font cut-off bug` patch is needed to add that to the device's built-in stylesheet. (see the "Instructions for patching firmware ..." threads in the developer's forum.)

Thank you GeoffR.

Although I wouldn't call that a solution but a workaround...

Another "easier" solution (for people who just don't know/care about coding and/or HTML) is just:

• Don't use fullscreen. (Well, you won't be probably using it...). It's still a "hidden" and not officially supported feature, so it's not expected to work flawlessly.
• Use the smallest margin setting in GUI bigger than 0, even if you actually wanted to use 0. 0 is buggy...

Of course, 0.2em is probably smaller than the GUI smallest possible value, but you will be masking the error / possible solution forever.

Your choice, guys.

I don't know of it's a bug, but I see a lot of added "collections" in my list that are empty.
Some books are a part of a collection,like part 1,2 and 3 so I use that in Calibre's field for the metadata update, but something "strange" occurs.
When I press the book list I get a list of the books present on the reader.
But after a while I delete the books that I read on the reader.
Now I pressed on the "collection" part and I see a lot of collections,with 0 books.
It seems that when I delete the books of a collection,either with Calibre or the reader itself, the collection name stays in the reader no matter if all the books that are a part of it,are deleted.
"Normally" it would be nice if when all books of a collection are deleted, the collection itself will be deleted also from the device.

Two possibilities that I can think of.

1. In the driver configuration (either KoboTouch OR KoboTouchExtended) there is an option Delete Empty Collections. Make sure this option IS selected. Also do ensure that Metadata Management is set to Auto in Preferences | Sending books to to devices.
2. Duplicated shelves propogated from the Kobo cloud. Fix via Kobo Utilities / Database / Fix Duplicate Shelves. Do NOT select Purge Duplicate Shelves and DO a sync with Kobo after cleaning them up.

Thank you Peter, I gonna look for those options (they are different for my language )

Anyone has news about an official 3.13.x for people outside Japan ?

Do you know/think the stats for external kepub will still be there ?

NO (there never is) and YES. Typically they keep the versions pretty much identical across the board so the chances that they'll remove stats are low. IIRC the reason this was released in Japan was to fix bugs/provide features that affected them but not so much the rest of the world. The stats thing etc. were just carried along as part of the whole.

EDIT: and really, as long as you're careful to get the right version (esp. if you're on the Glo) doing a manual upgrade is dead simple.

I have to agree with this--did it myself for my Aura HD with absolutely no problems.

Same with the H2O. No problem at all.

[howyoudoin]

Installed it on my H2O and it's working beautifully. The chapter stats for sideloaded kepubs works like a charm

I recently upgraded to 3.13 from very old 2.8 (or something like that) just because the stats returned. But I am missing one thing or just can't find it. Was the option to share to facebook removed?

[davidfor]

I don't use Facebook, but it is still there. I think they changed somewhere along the way. I just checked and selecting text in the book still has a facebook prompt on menu. I don't remember where the older versions had the options.

Yes, I've seen this option but haven't tried it yet, as I thought that this will share to facebook only the selected text. I guess I just have to try it out
In 2.8 you could share without selecting and it was posted in form title by author with synopsis and some text that you could write about it and Reading this on my Kobo Glo at end
