Downloaded it just now. It doesn't seem any worse than the previous one, at least. Switching between four books wasn't bad, but one book with like 400 TOC entries is still slow to turn pages and switch chapters.

Let’s hope that this is groundwork for being able to sync side loaded books between Kobos, apps and computers.

Hoping there on the tolino influence, where the users have 25GB cloud library to upload eg sideloaded books

I haven't seen any of the 6.0.xxx version listed on the kobo firmware page - https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html

Are these releases for kobo eReaders and if so - where can they be downloaded from?

They are releases for Kobo eReaders. If your device is registered in the EU, you will see an option under Accessibility. Outside the EU, I'm not certain what the procedure is, if there is one, for the bog standard end user.

Currently support is limited to 4 devices ( Libra Colour, Clara Colour, Clara BW and Elipsa 2E ).

in the eu you can get them while choosing accessibility options. Outside of the EU they did show a info on the home screen tu upgrade, but I think it was only to some users and I understand they want to up the number of (test) users step by step this way.

At this point in time they only let you update ota not download the firmware 6.x from their website

Does anybody know if the 6.x firmware can open LCP protected books?

As far as I understand it, the Tolinos can open LCP protected books, and the 5.x versions were those shared between Kobos and Tolinos. So I'm now wondering if that capability got rolled over to 6.x.

I wanted to try it out myself, but although my Kobo was bought and is registered in the EU, I don't see the "Accessibility" entry in the Settings menu.

Thanks in advance!

If you have an eBook with LCP, try it.

Hi,

Maybe I wasn't clear in my post. I don't have the 6.x firmware yet. I don't seem to have a way to download the 6.x firmware in my Kobo Libra Color, despite the fact that I'm in the EU, with an EU Kobo account. The "Accessibility" option does not show up in my menu.

I would try opening a LCP book myself if I had the 6.x firmware.

If the 6.x firmware is able to open LCP books, I'll try to figure out how to get it to my Libra Color. If it doesn't open LCP books, I won't bother. That's why I'm asking.

Thanks in advance if anyone has that info

LCP protected books can be opened since version 5.x.
There's a thread where I posted my results.
