Ouch, I hadn't noticed this.

But, it reminded me of a change. In the book details, the path and file name of sideloaded books is now shown.

No, unfortunately the old setup is not available anymore.

The book title (+ progress) is now always at the bottom and the current chapter (+ progress) always at the top. You can only choose to turn them on or off, but you cannot switch them or display them without progress (e.g. page numbers).

I also think it looks kind of weird to now have two page numbers (at the top and bottom) with the text sandwiched in between. And if I only want the chapter progress, I have to get used to seeing it on the top of the page now.

Yes. Though the ISBN is actually the value from the first dc:identifier tag in the OPF. With the way calibre writes the OPF, the ISBN is probably not the first one. Which is something I've been meaning to look at.

And the language must be one of the supported languages. If it isn't it gets changed to English. And did anyone notice the other Scandinavian languages being added. Danish (I think this is new), Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish have been added. And a while ago someone mentioned the OD libraries from at least one of these countries were now available via the device.

This is crazy and the reason I can't update unless we get a patch to fix them, what was the thinking here? I have never seen any book do this so why would Kobo think their users would want it this way?

Coming from a kindle user the header and footer is a plus for me.

Here's a weird bug.

I opened a book, an epub that was created by Calibre conversion from an azw3. I tap the centre of the screen and get the progress slider at the bottom. I play with it a while. I now have a position in the book represented by the open circle and the previous position a black dot. I tap the black dot to return to the previous position and it gives me a message: "Your eReader is not authorized to open this book" and talks about ADE DRM. However the book has no DRM and it opens just fine, I can read it, I only get this message when clicking the black dot.

Only found one book where this happens. Tried a couple of others and they are fine.

no Pocket?

I just fetched my Libra and am configuring it and before even starting loading books want to say I am very surprised that Pocket disappeared. Is it permanent???

EDIT: just looking at the guide, apparently Pocket should sync automatically. I don't understand how since I wasn't asked my Pockets parameters, and anyway I turn on wifi only for a few seconds to sync pocket but see no button for that, nor articles line in the hamburger menu.

I have an older device, not a Libra, but for me if I open the main menu and go to Settings->Accounts, there is an option to sign in to Pocket.

Just tried it on my H2O first gen, you can login in pocket in settings/account.
Then when you sync the Kobo sync the articles too.
You can find them in the menu on the left (where are books/collections etc), under my articles

Are you on the 4.13.13651 firmware? It seems to be linked to the F/w, not the device.
