I've also noticed that a number of my books in my "I'm reading" list are labelled as "open" rather than a percentage read. |

Closed is the status reported when you close a book with the new close function and finished is the status when you click through the last page. ltr |

Before the update, it usually said 1% (or more, depending on the size of book!), now it just says Open (even tried flipping to the second page of first chapter...). |

I also had a book that just said Open and not a percentage read indicator. It stayed like this all the time I was reading it. Can't remember if it was a kepub or a side-loaded epub.
I've got a Kobo 1, so I'm not using the latest firmware for the Kobo 2. Maybe it's something about the book and isn't related to the latest firmware? |

I have version 1.9 on my Kobo, but there seems to be a problem with the Goto function. I tried to get the reader to go to chapter 20, and it stopped at chapter 13. I tried again asking it to go to chapter 19, it went to chapter 10. It never went over chapter 13, no matter what number I was asking for.
Anybody had that problem? Thank you everyone for all the help you provide on this forum. Linda |

Won't stay asleep
Since firmware 1.9, my wifi Kobo wakes up spontaneously--I'm afraid to sleep the unit for fear the battery will exhaust (it has done that several times--it does not sleep due to inactivity once it spontaneously wakes from sleep).
I saw on another post that it may be from newspaper & magazines being set to download daily. That must be turned on by default in this firmware version, since I had not noticed it before. Go to Setting-General and turn off "download daily." Last edited by jdebox; 05-15-2011 at 12:14 AM. Reason: figured it out |

The page turns are noticeably slower with the upgrade. And I have an issue powering down. I hold the button sufficiently long (I think) and it either goes to the sleep mode or (more often) the boot page (with the little squares at the bottom). It has occasionally taken me several attempts to Power Down. So far, not liking it, wish I had not accepted the upgrade. Last edited by ReneAZ; 05-18-2011 at 06:03 PM. |

I'm not happy with update 1.9 (r25373, Mar 29 2011).
Battery life wasn't great to begin with on the Kobo. But now it's horrible. Maybe it's the issue you guys are talking about (not staying asleep). But now when I go back to the Kobo, the battery is nearly gone. I've always had Wifi turned off and no newspaper updating. Page turns are definitely slower. And resizing the font size will often crash the Kobo. At least the font is changed when you reboot the Kobo! |

My page turns are fine, the font size works perfectly, and the battery lasts well over a month. I would say that would be the norm.
So, you either got a bad load with your firmware or you have a hardware fault. |

Purely speculation based on personal observation: it might depend on the format of the file or perhaps even the makeup of the file.
O'Reilly epubs seem to be rather slow. The free book Frankenstein, however, is fast. As is another book, converted by Calibre apparently. I took a peak into the O'Reilly epub, there is quite a load of CSS in that file. Which would explain why it's so slow. Perhaps the books you read have less CSS? (With much CSS I mean in the range of 300 lines without comments) |
