Kobo Glo
Firmware 2.10 powering off the Kobo, activating\de-activating the Night Mode and connecting(then disconnecting, of course) the kobo to a computer means the brightness reverts to 1%, with the known bug of it still unresolved. Only switching on and off the Standby doesn't trigger the bug. And yeah, I've factory reset and tired everything before installing Night Mode. Not. Happy. And it's really that hard to add +/- buttons to up\down brightness by one percent point? |

@sirtao: Remember that ANY problem that results from using a modification to the Kobo (ie Night Mode) is very VERY unlikely to be resolved by Kobo.

when reading PDF book, the black bars on the left and right side of the book that change page back or forward DOES NOT WORK. When clicking on it, the menu becomes available. (at least in LANDSCAPE mode)
In LANDSCAPE MODE, when I want to turn page, the only ways are to tap on the top side of the screen (when holding ereader in 'landscape mode') or using menu. New page location in landscape mode is still wrong (now it occurs in 2.8.1 and 2.10). When reading pdf book in landscape mode and zoomed in, then when I change page, the location of the new page is still bottom left, it should be top left. So, the version 2.10 is huge disappointment for me a because I am reading PDF books (no other format of the books is available, so no choice here). I'm going to downgrade back to 2.8.1. |

Kobo Aura HD
2.10.0 I edited an epub using Sigil and added this CSS to modify all <HR /> elements. Code:
hr { background: url('../Images/sep.jpg') no-repeat center center; height: 50px; margin: 1.5em 0 1.5em 0; border: 0; } This works correctly in Sigil, in Adobe Digital Editions and with a Kobo Glo with firmware 2.8.1a. With my new Aura HD and 2.10.0 the HR is displayed empty. |

Update to the "HTML doesn't work in synopsis" bug: As of 2.8.1 and 2.10.0, boldface (using the B element) works, italics (using either I or EM) are still broken, and paragraphs at least work somewhat. That is, they divide text into chunks, but the renderer doesn't automatically add a blank line between them. However, if there's a linefeed between the /P and P tags, that blank line will exist.
Sample HTML code, without the lt/gt entity encoding: Code:
<div><p>Here's a paragraph. It has some <b>bold</b> text.</p> <p>This paragraph has a blank line above it.</p><p>This one does not.</p> <p>Neither <em>this</em> nor <i>this</i> display in italics.</p></div> Last edited by Rev. Bob; 11-07-2013 at 05:57 PM. |

The problem of "white-space: nowrap" not working sounds like a bug in the renderer, but I can understand if they just ignore it. The renderer isn't running on hardware as flexible as a standard browser and forcing line breaks at the right places anyway would look very similar to just ignoring the white-space property. |

That are really good news. So no Kobo bug after all. I will happily wait for the new version of your KoboTouchExtended driver. Many thanks. (For me, this is going to be the turning point from epubs to kepubs once for all... despite the header...). Quote:

Well, it seems that the dash bug within kepubs is still present. It has nothing to do with jgoguen's Calibre plugin. OTOH I am pretty stupid myself. In my original bug post I said that I couldn't confirm it with "official" kepubs because all of them where in English... But they also use dashes, don't they? So I upload a picture taken from Dodger by Terry Pratchett in two flavours:
And I think I can see the problem here. In English, dashes are used as a "comment separator". As stated in wikipedia, (go to the first "dot"), you normally write them without spaces. BUT there's no harm in adding spaces around them and, more over, when you are "stretching" a text in order to justify it, it can be even prettier than keeping the words together. I mean, I actually DO prefer the Kobo screenshot appearance than Calibre one. But what actually works in English is an extremely bad decision in Spanish where dashes are commonly used for dialogues (although we sometimes use them as comment separators, we normally prefer brackets). Quote:
OTOH, I'm now on 2.10.0 firmware and my eReader is an AuraHD, not an Aura. (Although as I said both data seem quite irrelevant). Well, in the end, I'm not going to be so bad gambler... --------------------------------------- OTOH. Don't you see something strange in the screenshots? Look at the drawing below (and over) the "CHAPTER ONE" text. Why isn't it centered in the kepub one? Another bug in ACCESS? Or just a bug inside the Kepub version of the book that Kobo stores? (I've tested with Off-Left-Justify. It's always the same). Curiously, in Off the book is left aligned in the "official" kepub version. BUT the downloaded epub through ADE is already justified... I don't know a way to check it, as I don't know how to break Kobo DRM scheme on their official kepubs so I cannot open it up. Last edited by arspr; 11-09-2013 at 03:16 AM. |

One easy means to look at how a Kobo eBook works is to just to add a preview version of it to your library and then let Kobo Desktop do a sync.
In the location where Kobo Desktop stores it's files you can then copy the newest "numbered" file to have a .zip extension and then, browse the zip file. |

But Kobo has changed Dodger edition... I've downloaded its preview and it's not like my previously bought book. I cannot check the drawing misalignment therefore. |

OTOH (and offtopic): I've asked in the FAQ thread if there's a compilation of these kind of settings somewhere because I haven't found one, and they seem pretty useful in order to enable hidden (and possibly WIP and dangerous I assume) customization. |
