I never did figure out the margins issue. Some of my sideloaded ePubs could have the margins changed via the KT and some could not. I think the ones I had converted with calibre worked and the non-converted ones didn't, but I never got around to verifying. Of course I was running a beta firmware rather than 1.9.5.

Yep, from what I've read today it looks like Borders creditors are pushing the judge to liquidate the company. I hate to see that--too many nice people might lose their jobs.

Observation on the Kobo Touch dictionary: when you touch and hold to highlight a word for dictionary lookup, it actually tries to look up the word prior to highlighting it. Try it with a non-English word that isn't in the dictionary - it won't highlight. I would have expected it to highlight, then return "Not found" when I try to look it up in the dictionary.

Is that new with 1.9.8? I've highlighted words that the dictionary couldn't find.

Actually that was 1.9.6, and you're right - in 1.9.8 I have now seen it highlight words that it subsequently couldn't find in the dictionary. I should go back and find the words it wouldn't look up previously to test again (they were in Latin).

I don't think that's correct. I had several instances prior to updating to 1.9.8 where it would highlight a word and then return a "not found" notice on the dictionary screen.

Yeah, I'm still on 1.9.6.

Just being lazy, I'll probably update later today.

From what I could test, it seems that some first words of a paragraph are not highlighted.

Okay, I've got 1.9.8 now.

Yep, the first word of a paragraph won't highlight (unless it's inside quotation marks). A long press still brings up the dictionary however.
