Have you encountered such situations with your kepub files ?

kobo7 4.35.20400

The problem has reappeared (or did it never disappear?!).
1. Applying highlighting on non-commercial kepub file (sigil + kepubify)
2. The highlighting effect appears and remains even after closing the e-reader.
3. Some time later the reader no longer shows the highlighting, although the table shows the various annotations.

Try ePub for eBooks you want to highlight.

I have been using an eReader for 6 years without problems. A week ago I found out PCs (tried on 3 different ones) stopped seeing eReader.
eREader can’t use WiFi - says there’s an error.

Does any body know how to solve it?

Is your firmware up to date? Which Reader do you have?

Of course not. Why has it become an issue recently?
How can I install it if I cant connect it to PC by using a wire or WiFi (refuse to connect)?

When was the last time you successfully connected it to a computer? When was the last time you successfully synced using wifi? What is the current firmware on the device? Have you tried a different, known-working-for-data cable?

Also, this is a thread for bug reports. You should probably start a new individual thread for troubleshooting your problem.

You might have to do a factory reset on your devices.

Have you tried USBDeview? Remove/Uninstall (not deactivate) the usb driver, reboot the pc and reconnect the ereader and let Windows reinstall the drivers.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a problem on my end, but I created a highlight today (Friday 12 May) and the annotations menu says Saturday 13 May, instead. The time, date, and timezone are set correctly, and I'm on FW 4.35. I guess I'm looking at a highlight from the future.

An issue with some Drop caps has been bugging me for quite some time (since I first got my Aura2)
I first thought it was my code (changes) or conversions. OK, my change aggravated the issue

Wide letters like M and W would scrunch up along the left edge (unreadable) of the drop space.
This week I was reading a boxed set (Stealing the Sun) direct from Kobo and the type was too small for my old eyes, so I moved the size slider on my Libra2. The letter went from normal to scrunched

The Float box does not resize with the font
'
FWIW Great Vibes' (a Google font) also triggers these issues)

Can you post the code for the drop caps?

Did you miss the 'only for wide letters' part (same code for all)?

The same code works in ADE(RMSDK) on the Kobo. I just don't want to have to switch the driver so Calibre only sends EPUB for problem books. I would have to first send a normal KEPUB, then go back and jump thru hoops.
The drops look fine in Calibre or Sigil or Moon+

Kobo KEPUB already fail if there is letter-spacing: nn em in the style . 'Chapter 42' becomes 'Chapter42' <run together

Hi. A bug I discovered yesterday (Libra 2, 4.35 fw, didn't apply the new one yet). While inside the ebook, if you touch the battery icon to see the percentage, in some ocassions (I assume it is when you don't touch exactly in the icon) instead of showing the battery level in the popup window, the entire top strip of the screen blinks once but nothing happens. After that, if you press to go to the Home screen, the e-reader reboots itself.

You are best to make sure tyou have the latest firmware before reporting any bugs. Please install 4.37 and try again and let us know what happens.

I think that a lot of companies would appreciate this advice, but I think the best approach would be to reproduce the bug as is, understand why it is happening, and then look at the latest version to see if it has been fixed.
