1)epub not kepub
2) side loaded yes.

Yes, wait for Kobo to fix the bug.

It's been mentioned a couple of times. There is bug in 4.0 that means the stats are not being updated when you finish a book. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next firmware version.

Yes there is an issue, and I believe that the fix is present in the beta builds.

I just keep all my books open at the last page ... will finish them all after the update

I hope, as Davidfor hints at in his first post, that Kobo brings back the ability to filter out/hide non-downloaded books from your library. That, to me, is a bizarre change in the firmware. They're not downloaded for a reason -- I don't want them on my device!

Hello,
Did someone know if it is possible to get the stock firmware of the Kobo Aura One ? My Aura One is "patched" with a vendor make (FNAC) and I would like to "anonymize" my e-Reader.

I would like to know also if somebody can tell me if on his Aura One he can select the option to have the image of the current book as screen saver. On mine I have the vendor (FNAC) logo.

Thanks for your answers and support !

The affiliate is defined in a file. In .kobo/affiliate.conf, change the affiliate to "Kobo".

And to expand on what David said, making this is change in your config file is all you need to do to get rid of the FNAC branding and allow you to use the book cover as your "screen saver" screen.

This firmware is acting up on my H2O for some reason. It fails to go to standby, and emtpies the battery over night. This happened twice in a row now, the 2nd time I had a background process log uptime / load / battery once a minute.

Code:

while sleep 60
do
    ( 
      printf "%s " $(uptime) battery: $(cat /sys/devices/platform/pmic_battery.1/power_supply/mc13892_bat/capacity)%
      echo
    ) >> /tmp/battery.log
done

https://paste.pound-python.org/show/...UpssILG5GNF2E/

I rebooted the device so uptime would be the time the device was used/awake.

You can see it went to standby properly at fist (15:56:40 -> 16:05:29), (16:07:29 -> 16:29:31), (17:07:44 -> 18:35:32) etc. I read a book until midnight (00:00) or maybe 00:30... not sure.

Afterwards it showed the sleep screen normally but according to the log it wasn't in standby at all. There even was high system load at 00:54, 01:37, 02:20, 04:22, 05:04, 07:52, ...

And then 08:11 when the battery dropped to 10% and it displayed a warning on screen, then it went to standby... until 09:43 when I noticed and connected a charger.

I can never rule out my own mods being at fault, but maybe this is related to the battery issues some Kobo Aura One users were reporting? I'll have to find a way to also log what's hogging the CPU / causing load next time.

I have been using this firmware on my H20 for about a week, and have had no battery draining issue. I did not add the PeriodicAutoSync=false line to the .conf file on the H20. I am using GeoffR's patches.

I wonder if the currently finished books will still be in the stats (i.e., it's saved but just not displayed right now), or if they are lost. Also, is there a way to reset the stats, should you want to? (Apart from resetting the reader to factory default, I mean.)

No, the problem is that when the book is finished the database entries used for the stats are not created.

Not through the interface. Clearing one of the tables, will remove the stats for sideloaded books. For purchased kepubs, some stats are synced. I don't know of a way to clear these.

This morning my H2O greeted me with a window atop the sleep screen, "Your reader is low on battery and can't finish updating. Please retry after charging" (or something along these lines, the message disappeared before I could write it down). It lost its charge overnight down to 8%.

That's with automatic sync updates disabled.

There was no update either (no KoboRoot.tgz to be found anywhere) and at least that firmware check site someone made is still reporting the same version for KA1... could it be it tried to downgrade...?
