But during the whole process of a new firmware installation, both at standstill and in standby, nothing seemed to have any effect.
So the hypothesis of a problem with the screen seems admissible.

That is the smallest screen fracture I've ever seen. I think it's time to get a new Reader as that's only going to eventually get worse. I suggest the Libra H2O.

Good advice.

Merci par dessus les eaux
A tous les dévoués serviteurs
Qui donnent leur intelligence
Au premier et au dernier venus
Pour que chaque battement de cils en l'oeil qui lit
Se souvienne de l'unique coeur qui nous relie.

I noticed on my Glo HD and on my Aura that the indicator for wifi signal strength appears to not show the correct value: it just shows one dot or appears to be off in places where it usually showed full signal strength. Nonetheless it appears to be properly connected to the internet (i.e. Sync working ...).

Following observations:
- „forgetting“ the network and searching for available networks it is shown with full strength. Returns to minimum as soon as connected
- router (Fritzbox 7490) reports proper signal strength and connected bitrate
- downgrading to 4.20.x.x reverted to normal behaviour

Did anyone else notice this behaviour?

Kind regards

Yes, that is right. This is inconvenient, since it seems to be turned off.

  • "Your Holds" tile added to Overdrive section of the store. This can be used to manage your holds.
  • Notification icon in in menu.

One change I don't think has been documented is that if the display name for the OverDrive instance that it was set up to connect to is too long, the tab just gets labelled "OVERDRIVE" as though it's not connected to an instance, but tapping on it does load sections from that instance, and the display name for the instance can still be viewed in Kobo settings.

My Clara HD is set up for the NLB (Singapore) instance, and the screenshots were taken on firmware 4.22, but I went back to photos I took for a cancelled Instagram post, and can confirm by dates on those photos that it was present on 4.21, but 4.20 and 4.19 squeezed the full display name of the instance into the tab, resulting in text with a smaller font size compared to the "OVERVIEW" and "WISHLIST" tabs.
