Reading setting issues
I am also having issues with the reading settings, as reported a few posts earlier.
I only see page 1 of 2 in settings, and can't advance by swiping. I can advance something by manually saying go to page 2, but that page is blank. This is the bechaviour reported earlier, but I also have another issue: the settings for showing reading progress seems to be gone. My reader is stuck showing pages left in the chapter, and there's no way to get it to show the pages left in the book, or the percentage read. Is anybody else seeing this? Nike |

And are you using any patches? If you are, you need to remove them and check. There might be an unexpected interaction between patches or with other areas of the firmware. In the meantime, you can edit the config file and set the reading progress option. Look for "bookProgressType". Setting this to 2, seems to be the chapter progress and 5 for full book. You can then change between page number and percent by long pressing on the page numbers while reading. With that, you can cycle between the available displays for the progress type. |

That's it. Page 2 is blank. But your last sentence seems to answer the question: one can toggle between the various progress modes by long pressing the page numbers while reading. Maybe they took it out of the settings and made this behaviour the default. |

The options are still there on my Aura ONE. I'll have to check my Aura H2O tonight, but I'm pretty sure they are there. Options changes are one of the things I look for when I get a new firmware version. |

There is no way I can find to make the progress relative to the whole book. I am reading KOBO EPUBS, for what that's worth. Nike |

But some things you could try: - Restart the device - Change language or try large print mode (in the Beta Features in the Settings) and then back. - Reinstall the firmware just like you did when you installed it (don't factory reset). The first two are to get the device to rebuild the screen. The last is in case something went wrong during the install. |

Sorry for not updating the links in the first post since nov 21; I've been away for a bit. I really need to get around to working on an automated script to post new firmware releases to mobileread (I've been planning to do this for a while), and update the posts as they are released to more devices,
