Poke3 Built-in reader - global font change?

James Bryant · 09-21-2023, 11:59 AM

Since my firmware update in July I've worked out how to change the fonts, line spacing, etc for individual books to get rid of the ill-treated apostrophe. It takes about 45-60 seconds per book and I've got over 8,000.

Is there some way of performing a global operation?

You can do it in my wife's Poke5 but I can't find a way in the Poke3.

I don't use the Onyx stock reader so I'm sadly ignorant of how it works.
Does it save the font/size/spacing on an individual book basis?
Many other readers save it only globally.
The advantage is, set it, it's done.
OTOH, you have to switch settings yourself if you want a book to have different settings.

I don't know, the Poke3 may have default settings but then allow per-book overrides.
If that's the case, it makes sense to just get the default settings before you write a zillion per-book settings.

As all this is undoubtedly in a database there may be ways to do a SQL query and set everything all at once.

You had a Poke3 update in July? I thought that 3.3.1 that came out last November was the last update?

Thank you. That's very interesting. Our old way of checking for updates seems to have let me down.

This is still reporting 3.3.1 from last November.
You wouldn't have a link for the update, would you?

Hmm, other models return 3.3.2 updates from this year...
