Is this a known or common problem with this feature? I really like the feature, but the freezing issue that comes with it, not so much!

I notice that the books load slower now that I've enabled this option.... but oddly I don't see a difference in the page numbering. Before I got full book page numbers, so maybe this is now a default in 3.1.1?

This did not seem to work on my Aura HD using 3.1.1 firmware

No, it hasn't changed. The FullBookPageNumber option only affect kepubs. If you are reading epubs or other formats, they always have page counts for the full book.

But:
ImageZoom
ExportHighlightsEnabled

are not working, I don't know why, I simply added in the Kobo eReader.conf file this text:

there's a special order in which they need to be inserted?
Or Zoom and ExportHighlights should be not under [FeatureSettings]?
Added those lines to the conf file (edited directly on device with vi, made backup first) last night for my Aura 3.1.1.

Great find! Love the translation option. Did manage to rotate the page in one epub (kepub?), will have a further play this evening.

Thanks.

I suggest you look at the Tweaks thread. There are instructions in the first post under "Custom Dictionaries" with a link to the discussion on this.

Is there an option for showing % instead of page numbers, except on main screen?

Just tap the screen to get the in-book top/bottom menus. If you look at the top middle, the time is shown immediately and changes to %-read after a few seconds. At least this is true in standard epubs. I don't know if it's the same in kepubs.

Thanks, it sounds like forster01 is covered either way, then.

(P.S. I loved your Neanderthal trilogy )
