Thanks in advance
Kepub doesn't like small line heights. You'll need to increase the line height.

Two problems with software 4.4.9344, including a reintroduction of a problem that was fixed many versions back:

1) Highlighting often doesn't work. I used to have this problem many releases back (+2 years ago). Damn frustrating. Takes 2-5 tries to get something to highlight -- I select the text, press 'highlight' and the underline simply disappears.

2) The light doesn't turn off automatically when putting the device to sleep.

Hope these can be addressed.

1. Same firmware and I don't have an issue highlighting.

2. When you put the device to sleep with the light on, the light will still be on when you wake the device. That's not a bug.

I did had that bug with some previous firmwares on my Glo. I am using the sleep cover but I could see peeking under the cover that light not always was turned off. I haven't seen it yet on the latest firmware

Indeed. I noticed it yesterday. Actually the light stays on even if you put your reader into sleep mode by the power button. I have a Kobo Aura.

Pocket Sync not working
I got a Kobo Glo HD (Firmware: 4.4.9344, very recent), I have a valid Pocket account with some articles in it, I connect Wifi, setup the account in "Settings", hit "Sync now", go to "My Articles" and get "Please wait while we sync your articles". I wait for 10 minutes but my articles don't appear, half an hour later I still see the same message. I log out from Pocket, enter my login details again, do another sync – and get the same endless message. Seems to be broken.

I have a similar problem on Kobo Touch (1st gen) since an upgrade to 4.4.9344 as it does not show any new content when uploaded. I use Calibre to upload the books and I can see epub files copied to the reader when I mount it. However, the reader won't show any new books in "My Books". I didn't figure out what's up yet.

Update: it seems a corrupted database during the firmware upgrade. Singing out and back in to my Kobo account fixed the problem.

Haven't tried that remedy yet. Does your account have a favorite tune?

Along similar lines, am I the only one who thinks of Kobo's new reader as the Aura Peroxide?

Yep. I have the same problem. Also, every time I wake my Kobo Aura One up, the glowlight turns on to 1%. (I have both the auto adjustments for the glowlight and the natural lighting turned off.)

I literally just got this thing two days ago and I'm already considering returning it. :/

It's a firmware issue. Kobo will fix this in a new firmware. When that is, I cannot say.

My KA1 is on fw 4.4.9349, using a 3rd-party sleepcover. So far, I haven't seen any problems at all with the light being on/off when it shouldn't be. It works both when I use the sleepcover and when I sleep via the blue button.

I must be doing something right, but I've no idea what that might be.

Maybe I didn't express it properly -- up until this release, if I hit the power switch to put the device to sleep, the light would turn off after a few seconds. Yes, it would come on again after waking up, as expected. But now, when I put the device to sleep, the light never turns off.
