I turned on Wi-Fi to sync the new firmware since I was concerned about the More menu being opened erroneously. I think it’s fixed that issue. 3. Page refresh settings are every Chapter. I tried a book in English and a book in Japanese with vertical sentence style. The extreme ghosting only occurs when reading Japanese in vertical sentence style. Not sure why. However, Japanese text selection of words instead of just particles/articles has gotten better and more precise, I feel. Japanese text is fuzzy in some sentences after a highlight but fixed when I tap the screen for a refresh. I don’t know enough about font rendering to understand why this is. 4. Cover lag issue is annoying and I just have accepted that no ereader will load and display all newly added covers in one import like the Nook devices. Even Kindle lags to display covers, albeit less so than Kobo. I only mind because I’m coming from Nook experience as comparison. 5. In Collections, the list of Collection Names has no scroll bar when there are more than 10 collections. The Wi-Fi sync and restart seems to have fixed this. I like pinch to zoom but I am having trouble getting the right size since sometimes my zoom bubble doesn’t display the potential size. I think I won’t update again until there is an international keyboard. Last edited by gforgiraffe39935; 07-25-2022 at 08:28 AM. Reason: clarification of Japanese text issue |

I have a Libra 2 running firmware 4.33.19759 and using Calibre 6.1 using KoboTouchExtended 3.6.0.
When I try to sync the device, it says the database version is unsupported, but I don't see a way to override it as we could before. Has anyone overcome this yet? |

You can go into the KoboTouchExtended driver's configuration and select the Metadata, on device & Advanced tab and check Attempt to support newer firmware. That works.

NVM - I found it in the Configure area - just missed it on first scan. Would be nice if we could just override it from the dialogue.
Thanks @JSWolf ![]() |

I have upgraded my Kobo's to 4.33.19759.
I previously had an annoying but small problem with the dictionary, I only use the English one When I searched for a word say Dictionary, I almost always got a response like this: "There were no matches for Dictionary the closest match was Dictionary." And then a correct description of the meaning of the word. Problem gone after update ![]() Books were KEPUB's converted from EPUB using KoboTouchExtended. |

The Libra (original) and Elipsa seem OK on this FW, but I have reverted to to 4.32.19501 on the Sage (which works fine).
Intermittent Issues with 4.33.19759 on Sage: 1. Advanced Notebook Export needs cancelled, retry instant. Seen on other 4.33.x versions. 2. Advanced Notebook Screen can go blank. Seen on other 4.33.x versions. 3. Advanced Notebook Screen can cycle each quadrant, sort of flashes. 4. epub page stops turning via tap, swipe or buttons. Even if slept. On returning to My Books the ebpub wouldn't reopen. A DRM free ebook. Message about Adobe authorisation. On tapping the dialog, the reader rebooted and then the book worked, though last position was out of date. Was able to complete the book. 1 to 4 are intermittent. Edit: A login puts SideloadedMode=false Further down the section and this overrides SideloadedMode=true Last edited by Quoth; 07-27-2022 at 04:46 AM. |

So it looks like this version is not recommended for the Sage, isn't it?

Zoom lock… that’s huge considering how long it takes to turn a pdf page. Might make ODFs readable on the base software when I’m downloading books in PDF format
Also I love the pinch zoom feature. I hope they bring it to the Kobo app too. |

Didn't they have pinch to change font size in older firmware? I remember it being a feature I activated by mistake and hated it.
