Uh, you can forget this statement. I'm quite sure that breaking hyphenation in epubs was due to a setting in the KoboTouchExtended driver. I had disabled the Extended Kobo Features but enabled Replace Content Language Code.

I've sideloaded this firmware to my Glo, I haven't tested it much but these two bug fixes are very welcome:

* KEPUB hyphenation: The problem of the hyphen being misplaced when the hyphenated word has trailing punctuation seems to have been fixed (e.g. everyw-here, is now hyphenated as every-where,)

* The EPUB line spacing problem described in this post has been fixed.

My Glo now shows the Aura options in the Reading Settings for Pinch to adjust font size, and two-finger swipe to adjust brightness. They don't work of course, because it is not an Aura. (The firmware wasn't for the Glo, so I'm not complaining. :-)

Only reason I stopped buying anthologies as ebooks was kepub hypen bug (I want to see page count of the stories I read). Great news.

The option to set LeanAndMean=false in the config file has been removed in this firmware, so it is not possible to avoid the menu ghosting problem that was introduced in firmware 3.15.0 (the problem didn't seem to affect the Carta devices, but it affects my Glo quite badly.)

Can i go back to firmware 3.13 from 3.15.0?
i don't like ghosting problem, why they did not fix it.

Always, download the proper file from this topic: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=185660 and follow the instruktions (unzip the file with subdirectory in your \.kobo directory, the device will restart and you have the old firmware back, do patch it to prevent that it will update by itself again or don't use the wifi.)
All settings and books will be at the same place and NOT erased.

Hi Nik_1964

I install and patch my Glo with firmware 3.13.1, no more ghosting problems.

Thanks

A bit disapointed... I was hoping for an update for all Kobo devices.

It worked fine for me on my Aura, just use the KoboRoot.tgz file only and put in the .kobo dir.

Which mark did you take: 4 or 6?

npr · 06-12-2015, 03:52 PM

My Aura updated and patched ok.
I used KoboRoot.tgz ONLY from the Mark6 update file.

Same here.

I would like to see a firmware update that really improves something and that is generally perceived as an improvement by a majority of users (like every Kindle update ever, except by a couple of jailbreak guys). That would be something to look forward to...
