Not really. Unless you want something very special from release 5, I would keep 4.23 till some apprentices have mastered their tests In any case, there is no problem using 4.23 with this FW (tested).

What you might be able to do is install 5.x to a different directory. Backup your settings first. I know DeDRM is not compatible, but I was running 5.x with DeDRM installed and Calibre 5.x worked. DeDRM did not. This way you can run 4.23 for DeDRM and 5.x for everything else.

Have they fixed / reverted the totally appalling menu structure? My Libra is still on 4.23.x something because I found the newer FW horrible to navigate on the Original H2O. I can't test this on the H2O because I loaned it.

With 4.24.x on my H2O, the menu structure is NOT horrible. I find it works well. I cannot say about 4.25.x as I've not yet installed it. I have to setup the patches first.

I like the new structure, except for all the stuff they left out.
I've used NickelMenu to add things I want that are not available in as many places in the stock menus. Of course, now I'm struggling with menus that have too much in them. Sigh. Might have to rearrange them to help that. |

I greatly like tapping on highlights rather than longpress -- wish it worked in epubs too. I tried adding ShowNoteIndicators=false to both Reading and ReadingSettings and it had no effect, icon still showed up, so maybe that's not related? |

Just a comment, when has Kobo eReader.conf moved from .kobo to .kobo/Kobo? Do you know?

Edit a quick search for ".kobo/Kobo/Kobo ereader.conf" site:mobileread.com on Google hit this thread from 2012: Kobo Reader Settings Tweaks so back to 2012 as a minimum. Last edited by DNSB; 11-11-2020 at 05:25 PM. Reason: Added search on MobileRead results |

But, being over the top can have an affect, as the following was added to the firmware later... Quote:
Code:

I'm so happy that they fixed the MyWords "no definitions" glitch!
I sent Kobo feedback regarding that, and I assume others did, as well. Really great to see them squashing bugs so quickly. |
