It's standby, yeah. I've measured it with ~120 hour autonomous tests around beta 2, and tests showed about the same drain as Nickel on firmware 4.x, and better than Nickel on firmware 6.x.

With the latest update it could be even better since I did some background optimizations. Haven't actually measured it for beta 6 or 7.

Thanks for the addition of About to the library menu. Makes it far easier to validate that the APK install has happened.

Installed Beta 7 on my Libra 2. All seems to work perfectly.

New in Beta 7: when opening the book, the cover image flashes rapidly 3 or 4 times while loading. In Beta 6 it was static. Don't care much for the flashing. This on a Clara BW.

For anyone having this error (I am using Fedora), you have to add the ":z" near the end of platforms/kobo/build.sh:

"$engine" run [...] \
--volume "$root:/work:z" \
--volume "$cache:/dependency-cache:z" \

Hello. I really like your application and trying to improve and modernize it. But it seems to me with each update becomes a little but worse due to the addition of new features (some generally useless at the development stage and debunced in particular KoSync) I stopped at 4 beta and consider it the best.

Long tables are not split up nicely. The last row is partially shown and repeated at the very top of the next screen, overriding its top margin setting.

OTOH, the table line spacing issue has indeed been fixed

Now, a question, if I may. My request to improve the flow of text around images has been on your tracker as a work in progress for a while, but I see is no longer there. Is it not doable, perhaps?
