[edit] it appeared after one more restart and sync
Thanks for tips. Yes, I can confirm firmware version. After a few restarts there is still nothing under "more" and "accounts" sections.

I had the same effect on a device with German language settings. What helped me was to set the reader to English and trigger a synchronization once. After that, the Instapaper notice appeared, the menu item under "more", and it remained there even after switching back to German. Linking to the Instapaper account was then also translated into German.

There are reports elsewhere that repairing your Kobo account may help.

In the past, when there were bug fixes the changelog said so.

Updating my Libra 2 resulted in a bootloop. Had to do a factory reset. Though keep in mind, I had it fully customized with Nickelmenu, Seriesmeta, KOreader, Kobopatches etc. So I probably fucked this up myself.

Just a reminder to backup your database first.

I upgraded my Sage. First I didn't see 'my articles' under More. Then I saved an article in Instapaper on my laptop, I synced my Kobo and there it was. My articles under More with that article.

I had the same for my Kobo Aura Ed2 v1. Only Factory reset revived it. Other kobo's went fine.

The "PowerSettings - UnlockEnabled" also doesn't work.

So far after one night of usage with the new firmware on my Clara HD, it's been great. Adding links from articles to Instapaper works as expected.

The only things I have setup with Nickelmenu are things like dark mode and rotate orientation and forcing USB and these work fine.

The only new thing I want to add is a quick link to My Articles, but unable to do so. I'm guessing there's a new "argument" for "nickel_open". I tried pocket/instapaper/myarticles/articles and they all don't work. I'll patiently wait to see if anyone discovers the argument..or I'll mess around a bit more when I have time.

Example of my config code:
menu_item : main : Instapaper : nickel_open : library : instapaper

(Doh.. Problem editing my post.)

Just had a thought maybe this requires a Nickelmenu update. I'll shelf my idea to create shortcut link to Instapaper articles...for now. =)

Can anyone confirm if this new firmware fixes the bug that keeps turning on WiFi/Bluetooth?

JSWolf · Today, 05:58 AM

Who is going to update calibre for this new firmware?

gkoul · Today, 07:55 AM

i did a manual update and i can confirm that a resynch is needed to have the instapaper option show up in the menu

but very disappointed, i was hoping that instapaper will allow annotations on articles (which was also missing from pocket) but it does not!

why is it so difficult to implement this?

The update didn't show up and wasn't detected by the Kobo Desktop App either.
It's probably because it's a Japanese device, so it's likely running variant firmware for Rakuten Books.

I quickly learned how to sideload, so I updated it manually. After tinkering with it a bit, the Instapaper introduction appeared and it seems to have become available.

Any word on the patches or offset corrections so far?
