Forma issue after latest firmware update

Sonofrobot · 04-24-2019, 01:58 PM

Hey guys,

Ever since the firmware updated on my Forma, I have been having an issue with books keeping their place. If I page through a book from the beginning, it will save my place fine but if I navigate to another chapter via the ToC, it always says that it's 1% complete and if I close the book it will be at the first page when I open it again. I never had this issue before. I tried resetting to factory and even removing and reloading all of my books but it's still doing it.

Has anyone experienced this and have a fix?

There is a bug in 4.13.12638 with epubs where the ToC entries reference to anchors in in the text. That bug means that the wrong entry can be selected when the ToC list is opened, and skipping between chapters using the navigation bar can give interesting results. It is discussed in the 4.13.12638 thread. But, I haven't seen any issues with the location or percent read.

What format books are you reading? It could be a format specific problem. Is it every book, or just some? Are any available to download and look at? Or, try a book from the library here at MR and if it has the same problem, we can try it as well.
