Some others remaining problems: - Opening a new (unread yet) epub still opening it to its first TOC entrie, instead of opening the book to page 1, like kepub... - The sort by series still not offered. - when coming back from a book's detail, the shelves position is reseted to page 1... Some interesting changes, the virtual keyboard, some little shelves changes, simplified theme (no more rounded buttons, just colored rectangles) This update seems to be mainly cosmetic, almost no bug fixes. Bah... Last edited by byblo; 07-24-2013 at 01:52 AM. |

The top margin in ePubs has gone completely. Now I will have to go through my library in Calibre and add back the @page{margin-top:10pt} that I removed after upgrading to 2.5.2. I don't really mind whether the margin is there or not (since I can add it myself if it is missing), but I hope they they will make up their mind and stop changing it. Edit: Actually there is a very small side and top margin, it is not quite zero. Picture attached of my Glo with margin slider at minimum. (ePub, 2.8.1) Last edited by GeoffR; 07-24-2013 at 03:25 AM.

The return to sleep mode is not a bug in my opinion. It is by design so that if your sleep cover flops open in your bag, the ereader doesn't wake up for 15 minutes. When the quick return to sleep happened when you weren't using a sleep cover -- that was what more people called a bug though I classified it as a dubious feature. You call opening at the first TOC entry a bug, I call it a feature. You may enjoy paging forward past the cover, copyright info, author's book list, acknowledgements, dedication, and Great Ghu alone knows what else. I've got ebooks that have 18 pages which take 50 or page turns to get by before getting into the meat of the book. Sort by series would be nice. OTOH, you can search for a series. John Ringo's Looking Glass series, using look as the search string. David Weber's Bahzell series, bahz finds those. Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series, para finds those. Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series? vork find those. Mercedes Lackey's 500 Kingdom series? 500 finds those. They do come up sorted by title but that's really only an issue with series such as the Grantville Gazette which is up to 48 volumes or David Weber's Honor Harrington universe which is hitting up to 26 books. Shelves? Never use them. Regards, David |

I don't mind to call it a bug or feature. Whatever it is, it should be optional at least. When I open a book, I like to read who translated the book, when it was published the first time, to read the dedicace, the author's introduction, the author's notes, and so on... Its irritating to have each time to popup the bottom menu, then page icon, then arrow, then close the thing, just to start it from the beginning of the book... Also, talking about something else, the French dictionary still unavailable to use (not the only one, Deutch, Japanese, ...), which is completely a dumb, egoistic and mediocre choice from the dictionary's publishers, since sometimes I cannot even know properly what a word is... For instance, in a book I read the unknown word: "blabla", then click the word for definition, the dictionary opens, and gives me: "blabla: related to blablating" Thanks, but I still don't know what blabla or blablating means !!! And of course, theres no links inside the dictionary popup, which could jump from a definition to another by clicking the words. Nice way to reduce an useful feature. Its like they doing it on purpose to disappoint people the most they can. Also, I almost forgot the inability to change the font if the ebook specified one. Why giving the options if its to restrict it ? I remember in old firmware pictures there was a check box in the fonts option, something called "Kobo Style" or something like that. Was it an option to force fonts choices? Or what was the purpose of it ? |

@byblo: have you installed the dictionary from the Kobo Desktop application or using the wifi?

In the original ePub book there is often a line in the guide section of the content.opf file that specifies which page to open at. It is a deliberate choice by the publisher to open the book at that page, so I think devices which ignore that guide are the ones with the bug. I do agree it would be nice if there was a setting on the device that allowed you to choose whether to follow the book's guide or not. |

That is, if I remember right, the way to customize the plugin. Only that I have difficulties in recollecting how the procedure was in detail. |

Your proposal is an option. But at present, I'm glad to see the device working; and perhaps there will soon come another upgrade (see the present thread). |
