A long press, a tap on the menu and another tap to dismiss it. How is a long press, tap a "Show full title" option and then another tap to dismiss it any quicker?

- tap on "show details" (I don't have the "Show full title" entry) - tap on "[+]" because the title displayed in the details is the same length as on a list - tap on "OK" to close the title - tap on "X" to exit the details 5 taps to show the title and be back to the list (and it doesn't work in the book manager, where it would be most useful). Something similar to the dictionary use on a book would be nice (a long press on the book would display both the menu and a note at the bottom/top (dictionary-like) with the book details, with full title displayed.

It stayed on firmware 2.4.0. I remembered the previous one (or one of the previous ones) had troubles reading text files, but this one was pretty bugless and I stuck to it (that and it was a bit painful to recompile the firmware with the multiple mods and dictionaries at every release)

(heading) Words run together Only on my AURA2
B]Product[/B]: Aura2
Firmware: 4.23.15548 Plugins: File types:KEPUB Sideloaded or from Kobobooks:Sideloaded Calibre On external SD:No Steps to reproduce: Load book as KEPUB (EPUB does not have the issue) from Calibre
Workaround: comment out CSS lines with letterspacing: <value>; Took me a while to figure out why only some books had the issue Last edited by theducks; 09-04-2020 at 01:11 PM. |

2) It looks good on other viewers (Calibre, Sigil) in EPUB 3) the KEPUB code (looking at the DEVICE books code) Looks the same as expected (The Kobo extended driver is NOT mangling). This is what I see (KEPUB ONLY) ChapterOne I tried using other spaces between words, no JoyALeasonLearned I don't care that it does not work (like older ADE or my Kindle), but that it works so wrong LMBPN Publishing only seems to use these on Chapter Headings and Titles |

@theducks,
Is the letter-spacing value set in pixels? If so, I wonder if this is a similar problem to the one where text-indents don't work well in kepubs when set in absolute units? Have you tried setting it to a very small em-value? FWIW, I never use letter-spacing myself. I always assume it's a crude attempt to simulate small-caps, so better to use font-variant or a small-caps font-family than letter-spacing - if the actual text content is suitably mixed case. |

But, playing with it in one of the test books I have, I added the following: Code:
<h4><b>Letter Spacing</b></h4> <p>abcdefhijg - normal spacing.</p> <p class="letterspacing1pt">abcdefhijg - 1pt spacing.</p> <p class="letterspacing5pt">abcdefhijg - 5pt spacing.</p> <p class="letterspacing1px">abcdefhijg - 1px spacing.</p> <p class="letterspacing5px">abcdefhijg - 5px spacing.</p> <p class="letterspacing1em">abcdefhijg - 1em spacing.</p> <p class="letterspacing5em">abcdefhijg - 5em spacing.</p> Code:
.letterspacing1pt { letter-spacing: 1pt; } .letterspacing5pt { letter-spacing: 5pt; } .letterspacing1px { letter-spacing: 1px; } .letterspacing5px { letter-spacing: 5px; } .letterspacing1em { letter-spacing: 1em; } .letterspacing5em { letter-spacing: 5em; } This was with the publisher font, and the size was just to make sure it all fit on one screen. And no patches. And, yes, I do know that 5em is ridiculous, but, that was sort of the point. |

Code:
/* letter-spacing: 0.15em; */ I had converted purchased books to KEPUB and had noticed this effect before. The books render fine in ADE (on Kobo)/Calibre/Sigil IMHO the space should NOT get touched. Instead it seems to null out completely. |

Just to confuse matters - unless things have changed very recently - there seems to be a line in the kepub-book.css kepub override CSS in the fw. Code:
body,p,div {letter-spacing: normal !important; } |

I have found a bug with KePub. The page numbers for the full book are not correct and when changing the page, the page numbers are not updating correctly. The total number of pages is not correct and thus, the page number that shows what page you are on does not update correctly. So if anyone is using the total number of pages to judge how long the eBook is, that won't be correct.
The % read in the footer seems to be working and the page numbers for the chapter in the header are working correctly. |

Libra page refresh
Hi! I have Kobo Libra h20 and recently it has started to change pages in a weird way – when I turn the page it flashes all the rows instead of doing it fluently and fast as it did before, almost like it's refreshing rows before putting new letters. I thought it was somehow a Calibre problem but I tried doing a manual reset and opened a Kobo store book – it still does it almost every time it goes out of sleeping mode. After some time it goes away, then starts again. Does this happen to anyone else? I’m desperate at this point as it’s REALLY annoying to the eyes.
