I'm just waiting for an update to RMSDK that will fix the (reproducible) performance regression for PDFs that happened after 3.2.

Aside from that minor annoyance (I don't read too many PDFs) I have absolutely no problems with 3.19.

My bookmarks do not show on this release: I can make them, I can access them via the annotations list, but the page fold in the top right does not show at all!

I get that occasionally with epubs. I haven't worked out a pattern for when it happens. It hasn't bugged me to much as I mainly use a bookmark to return to that spot after looking for something elsewhere in the book.

I'm occasionally getting the opposite: bookmarks being set sporadically, and the turned-corner icon showing up, without my fingers going anywhere near the top right corner. Not happening a lot, and not a particular problem, but curious.

I get some extra bookmarks because of the way I hold the device one-handed, but I don't think I have seen any that I can't blame on a slip or some sort. Have you checked the screen around the bezel is clean? I had fun with the Touch my son was using once. Whenever I tapped near the right edge of the screen the top menu was displayed. It turned out there was a bit of paper stuck under the bezel near the top left corner blocking the IR beams. And when I tapped near the right edge, that was interpreted as a tap to the top-right corner. As he swipes to turn the page, he didn't notice.

Yeah thanks mate, I have. I even got a soft brush like the ones photographers use for cleaning round the edge of lenses, so I can be sure there's no dust in the bezel without pressing too hard on the glass or risking jamming detritus in there.

There's obviously a reason for it to be happening; I'm pretty sure it's not my fingers, so at the moment it looks like a firmware aberration. I haven't spotted a consistent pattern to it, though.

Oh yes they did, but I don't complain about that, they did introduced it.

I was replying on the "no matter what they do, some people complain about everything" idea that was launched (like they nagging all the time).. while the complains are most of the time valid.
Maybe not in the idea that it makes the device unusable (with the sickle it could) but you can't just point to the users, you can point to both party's.

I am happy with my Kobo,even more happy with the patches, but I am also happy that there is freedom for speaking out what I want,and if that isn't always what Kobo likes, so be it.

Bug that's been haunting me since at least 3.12.1: highlights (with or without notes) are sometimes not registered and disappear (not so good when longer notes disappear).
Thought it had to do with pressing outside of the button but even if I take extra care to hit the bitton, it sometimes fails...
Might have to do with the touchscreen not registering interaction correctly, but I got that error on different devices so it's certainly not idiosyncratic to my H2O...

Hi, I've run into an issue with my Kobo Aura HD with this firmware.

I can't get Windows 10 to properly recognize my Kobo after upgrading. I can't recall what my previous firmware version was, its been a while since I had updated it.

When I connect the device to the computer, it shows up as a blank device F:/. Resetting the Kobo to factory conditions allows it to be properly recognized as a Kobo device on my pc, and I can add files and open it like a mass storage device. With an updated firmware, I can't open the device on my PC, calibre doesn't recognize it.

I should note I am running the stable insider build of Windows 10. I can't figure out how to downgrade the firmware. I can't add files to it because its not properly recognized, and when I reset it instantly gets me to update it when I set up through wifi (couldn't get it to work by setting up through desktop, the app did not see it).

It works fine on my friends Mac with the newest firmware so it seems to be a windows issue.

Any ideas?

Sorry, it's not a Windows issue. I am running 3.19.5761 on my H2O and I use Windows 10 and I have no issues with the h2O being recognized. Whatever the problem is, it's not specific to Windows 10 or your HD. It's specific to your computer.

Perhaps that may be the issue, I hope the new anniversary update will bring a fix to this then.
