New firmware soon?
I think its time for the new firmware to start rolling out... Fingers crossed.


I have my heart set on the new Holographic Novel experience...
But I will settle on the soft ice cream maker.

Ah, that's the difference between the N905 and N905C Touch - the cappucino attachment.

As to a new firmware, Kobo always release one with a new device. But, they don't always release it immediately for the other devices. So, we can expect firmware for the Glo HD in early May. Later in May, the rest of the lit devices will get new firmware, but it might be a minor version higher.

I'm intrigued by mentions of improved PDF handling on the Glo HD. Maybe the 3.5 PDF bug will finally be fixed.

Are you referring to the goodereader review? I think all of the improvements that have been mentioned there are already in the current firmware...

Those guys don't seem to actually use the devices they test.

Yeah, I am. I'm hopeful that the problem I found back in 3.5 is finally fixed. From the video (which I skipped through) it *might* be. They're using a gaming PDF (D&D from the looks of it) to demonstrate, and it was through gaming PDFs that I originally found the problem. arspr confirmed it was still around in 3.13.1.

If nothing else, I'd be interested in having pinch&zoom on my Aura HD.

I'd like for hyphenation to work at the end of the first line of a paragraph. It's the only thing that bothers me at this point.

I'm not sure it's vague enough. I think if they really made an effort, they could make it more vague.

According to another thread -- chess has been removed. Not that I ever played chess on the Kobo, but now that they've taken it away (or will with the upgrade) dang-it -- suddenly I want play it!

Chess certainly was removed. No indication as to why? Maybe the AI used was not up to being beaten by humans? Definitely faster though on page turns at least to me it seems. Also no holographic display or soft icecream maker.
