Also they added the ability to tun off page numbers and changed the font list a little bit by making a pseudo scroll list. I wonder if the limit of user added fonts has increased?

Bravo.
The dev team for the Touch is really doing a great job about supporting and bettering the reading exp on their device. It's refreshing to see a company doing this at this price point and with this frequency. If only my local BestBuy would receive Touch stock I'd be 1st in line to buy. Unfortunately, I do not have any Borders close by. |

Now alll I want is to see my magazine and newspaper subs on the KT. I do love the firmware rollouts. The Kobo dev team seems to be working hard to make us Kobo owners happy.

Nothing new here? It was working before in 1.9.5. The margins problem on certain book isn't gone. Or are you talking about the Italics/Bold bug?
Also you have Kobo Sketch and to clarify the dictionary is both free form and you can now select and do a look-up in side-loaded epubs. |

Just tested the dictionary function on a sideloaded epub and it worked!

Is it just me, or did the refresh to get rid of ghosting on images improve a little more?

was going to ask before but i wasn't sure if i could since it was still in its beta stage but what does "remove page numbers" mean regarding the 1.9.6 update. I selected it and the numbers were still there. Or does it mean something else.
Edit-Does the new kobo desktop app fix the issue with updating original kobo's.I hear it says to update it and it goes so far then stops Last edited by wes101; 07-15-2011 at 12:10 AM. |
