Okay, I'll get on that. I've opened up some kind of online account a few months ago for Kindle 3 firmware that (at the time) wasn't available on Amazon's site. Now I've just got to figure where that is. I've got a good memory, but it's short. I'll PM you when I've found the link and uploaded the book.

That should actually be the recommended alternative to sideloading for this v2 devices for now. My fw downloader will show which affiliate received the latest version, and people could use that.
BTW, I improved (and rewrote) my fw downloader. See the new thread I started for the details. |

Up to now, the modifications of the new F/W don't feel like improvements:

Thanks, it works, as long as you tap within the text. The whole white zone above the chapter area rotates through its options - and once, I must have tapped a bit too long, the definition of the word in the same position in the first line of the next page popped up.

It's not working for me with the custom footer patch, if I have to choose between small footer and this feature, I take the small footer.

It did work for sideloaded books, with Kobo utilities' set related books. I used to apply it first for authors, then for series, but I can use the search engine. It was just a way to look from a book when I was at the end, and open directly another from the same author or series. |

I have noticed that the usb issue does not seem to be happening so far with this version, and the touchscreen inaccuracies towards the right edge on the aura ed2 seem to have been fixed. There is also a new option to enable and disable some sort of tracking at the end of the energy and power settings (but I haven't tried it).

By the way, @davidfor thanks for the page flipping tips! I hadn't figured out that sliding your finger makes it go faster/slower. Also, as @anacreon reported, there is a workaround in the sense that the touchzone for the reading menu is bigger than the footer, so it is still possible to tap on the page just above it and open the menu. I'm not sure if the new behaviour is a bug or a feature though. |
