Are page turns faster on an H2O using 3.15.0 or are they the same as 3.13.1?

Personally, they are the same. But, others are reporting problems.

In my experience, they are faster now for epubs, but slower for kepubs which makes them both about the same speed now. Previously, kepubs were faster.

That's good for me as I don't use kepub and only use ePub.

Others have noted small glitches here and there, just so you're aware. People's experiences seem to differ, I've noticed. Sometimes words don't highlight for me, for instance. It only happened in one book for me. The light also responds a bit differently when you swipe. Slower, not as smooth as before.

Overall, I'm fine with the update and there are some improvements, so I'm sticking with it despite the minor glitches. YMMV.

I figure if I don't like 3.15.0, I can easily go back to 3.13.1. I'll ot be updating until after I get back from vacation just in case so I won't be stuck with 3.15.0 if I don't want it.

Yes, very easy to go back, of course. I was going to initially, but overall it's been fine for me. I'm now used to the slightly slower page turns in kepubs, so it's not a big deal to me. Plus I do like some of the small changes as well.

This version really fixes something: packets, border selection, charging meter, etc, and I found it tempting.

Is there any possibility for the regression of the 'grayish and blurred after selection' behaviour? Is this a must for robust highlighting?
And, does this behaviour appear on devices other then H2O?

Unfortunately, the option inserted doesn't have any noticeable effect on my H2O even after reboot. The double touch refresh is enabled by default.

Thanks for your reply

I have indulged myself with the new Glo HD and it upgraded from start to FW3.15. One thing I seem to miss is the ability to zoom in picture inside a book (I sideload all my books as kepub via calibre). I had a book featuring a map at the begining but I was unable to pinch and zoom (but it could be "normal" as it hasn't a capacitive screen, as had my Aura 6" that I passed to my daughter) and couldn't find anyway to zoom on this map.

Can anyone point me to a way to achieve this with the Glo HD and 3.15 FW ?

Double tap on the image and it should open it in the image viewer. There will be slider at the bottom to control the zoom. Once zoomed in, you can pan around the image by pressing in it and moving your finger.

Thank you very much

And it works !

In kepub hyphenation is in my language (Dutch / Netherlands) really totally wrong, it is so bad that it is almost impossible to read, words are totally broken at wrong places, by example the word "antwoordde" (means answer) is ant-woordde or antwoord-de but it says antw-oordde.
Other example, allemaal (all) it must be broken as alle-maal but it breaks as all-emaal. That are 2 examples on one page.
Other: glimlachte (smile) the right way is glim-lachte but it breaks as gliml-achte and there are literally 100 examples in one book, while on epub format there is no hyphenation.
Is there a way to put hyphenation in kepubs off, it is just unreadable. Tried it with 4 kepubs but there isn't one page okay.
For example, the main role is a inspector called Opperdoes, the right ways are Opper-does or Op-perdoes, but it brakes with Opperd-oes. It is totally wrong with all Dutch kepubs, please tell me there is a way to put hyphenation off, it is Terrific! Tried 4 kepubs, not converted but I had to delete them and convert them to epub, is it patchable? Dutch dictionary is installed, but it is in some pages at least 8 times wrong.
On 2 Glo HD devices on 3.15,it is unusable!
