Just to be sure this is a firmware change and not something specific to your hardware, has anyone else encountered this problem?
Synced a few times in the past couple of days. No recurrence.

I should have written that I transferred books from Calibre over the past couple of days, not 'synced.'

I can no longer find the message where I read it, so it could be a book. I should also add that the Launcher hack does not work anymore, though Sergey is working on it (see Developer's forum)

Note for GeoffR regarding the summary in the first post:

my Mini got the update to 2.6.1 but in sleeping mode there is still the banner on the top of the screen and even though I'm reading a kepub there's no time left displayed. All I see is the former screen: a banner, the percentage read and "sleep mode".
I don't have an epub ebook at hand to try it.

Can someone else with a Mini can confirm that please?

Just wondering, I have a Glo on 2.6.1. If I convert an epub to kepub with Calibre will it give me the time left to next chapter/end of book?

Yes, it will. That's one reason I use the Calibre extended driver. I really lke that feature.

The "Previous Location" link still appears and works correctly on my Glo, for both sideloaded epubs and store-bought kepubs. Could this be a prblem with a specific book, or due to sideloading kepubs?

Thanks, I am guessing it is only the Glo that got the new (Aura style) sleep screen then.

Does the Mini have the new bookstore menu?

I will have to check that one. By new, do you mean something newer from what was on the Aura (2.5.2)? Since my Aura still doesn't want to update, I can't compare them on the same firmware.

Thank you taming.
In the bookstore, I can see: Discover(/Related reading, Recommended for you), Browse (/Categories, Reading Lists) and Search.

Edit: from a book, if I click on the wrench there's "Sync my Book Activity". Was it there all along? If so, I think I know why the synchronizations weren't working well

OK, so it looks like the Mini (and Touch?) don't have the new bookstore.

Was it like that on the Aura before firmware 2.6.1, or is it new?

Thanks, so as far as the bookstore goes it is just the storefront that is new on the Aura, everything is new on the Glo, and nothing new on the Mini (and Touch?).
