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.
That bug appears to be related to not having all the files listed in the ToC.

How long should the update take (the OOO dots) on the N905C Touch?

Ah ... finally it's done.
Seems OK on the N905C Touch so far! Not not fully tested (i.e. annotate & read them with Calibre, add more books, rinse & repeat).
Nice having chapter title.

Ghosting much reduced, looks near perfect on page turns. It was VERY bad on this reader.

If done properly there is no difference. You're simply copying files onto the Kobo that would be downloaded over-the-air. The only downside of a manual update is that it introduces the chance of user error.

For me, it's just enabling ligatures in kepub. I don't understand why that isn't standard out of the box.

Thumbs down .noscan file/directive in subfolders ignored
My Aura One took forever to return to Home screen after update/reboot.

Turns out that this version ignored the .noscan directive in subfolders, and added to the device library all 6000+ epubs in the hidden folder I sync my full Calibre library to for backup.

Yes, it's been discussed above. Apparently Kobo changed this because it was requested by users.

Took the liberty to upgrade to this version. Did not patch anything. Made sure the TOC of my test ebook (EPUB, calibre 3.48) contained all files. Reading is ok. Can live with GUI changes. I even like the progress bar.

But... make a selection in text, highlight it, go to the annotation page and delete it there (or even by re-selecting the same text and opt for Remove Highlight) and the highlighting remains when returning to the reading page. I did see this problem appear with FW 4.15, so the issue is still there.

Only workaround I found so far is to leave the book and then re-open it.

Any suggestions?

That bug has been around for a long time - it seem like the kind of thing that's about as old as the feature itself. Too bad it's still around, as I frequently highlight errors in OCR'd ebooks only to remove the highlight once the issues have been fixed.

Move your .noscan to .kobo/addons (or is it Addons). Then it won't be scanned.

Is some solution for the books in the sdcard?
If I rename the folder to .kobo in the sdcard work also?.
The Kobo can't manage this big library I use it with koreader to navigate in subfolders of the hidden folder.

I've seen that in at least as long ago as 4.15.x too on my original H2O. I just check in the Annotations, after bookmarking page, that it's really gone (or not).
It's annoying, but not hugely annoying.
Just updated my Original H2O. I do like being able to have chapter heading. I don't need the name of book in footer, so I turned that and progress bar off as the chapter heading is set to % (book progress actually in an epub).
I do think this is slight improvement in reading GUI, though bookmarks and annotations/highlights ought to be separate, one tap less to annotations?

As I mentioned in the 4.16 thread, now the header and footer are "crowded", specially in Spanish, as we have normally longer titles than in English. It seems that we have two additional lines of text, been even difficult to read the page number (now you have two!).

If a patch can be available to have them as before, fine. If not, for me is more a "no go" than a "what an improvement!".
