Now I just switch readers ![]() A bug IMO in that it will take a very short time when you do the card thing. Same card, same books, should be same process, but sometimes it takes under a minute and sometimes over 45 minutes to do whatever it is doing. Helen |

This has nothing to do with the device and all about the reading enviroment. So in fact your are saying: because my reading conditions are far from optimal I need large screen margins on the top because my main light source is positioned in front of my device and also positioned quite low. The result: a huge shade of the top bezel. If you change your reading position you'll also need huge margins on the left, right or bottom because of your poor lightning conditions. And, I'm also quite sure you read at a very huge font size for compensation. Hey, I sound very pro Kobo now, it's a Monday. |

As it happens with both epubs and kepubs the source of TLPB could be not the Access or Adobe renderer itself, but (one of) Kobos host progam(s). If you use metazoa patch for 2.8.1. and set all patch options to "no" but only the line height option to "yes" and replace the default settings to very small (start < 1) you'll notice that TLPB will occur much often. |

Sometimes I read or produce books with images that I like to see with a full page display (up to the bezel). You should try it. It can be amazing. |

fail for me on the aura hd. the huge top margin is gone, but the bottom margin sometimes being gigantic is still annoying. and i can attest to the jumping multiple pages ahead once in a while problem. can't understand how it actually got worse and why they haven't fixed that problem by now.

A 'fail' from me. Since updating I have to soft reset at least once a day, sometimes several times in succession as the screen freezes completely. The light no longer comes back on automatically after sleeping if it is only set at 1% brightness (and that is my preferred setting for reading in the dark), my glo doesn't always wake-up when I open the cover, the sudoku game freezes often............
Whenit's working well it seems snappier but the problems I have gained are not worth that improvement. I wish I'd never upgraded. |

How do I downgrade? I did a factory reset once but 2.8.1 came straight back on.

How often does Kobo issue upgrades? And do they normally take criticism from users here into account?

And of course different people expect different things and have different priorities. If it was me I would be prioritising the actual reading bugs, such as double page turns, and the pages turning in the opposite direction. I cannot imagine why these are so difficult to address. And the book re-opening on the wrong page. Next I would make sure all the font and justification, margins 'features' work for the majority of books anyway. That is one of the main selling points IMO. Then I would fix the shelf and sorting functions and bring back the back button making it actually work like the majority of back buttons work. Taking a month or more to perhaps fix something, arbitrarily change something else and break something or make something worse has not endeared them to me. feels sort of like being eaten by a grue ![]() Helen |
