Oh, OK. Dutch Glo's normally receive the update about 3 weeks after the initial announcement in my experience. Last edited by jackthereader; 11-15-2013 at 06:28 AM. |

I wasn't clear enough on that. The "mark as finished" option isn't showing up for CBRs which i've finished reading although it had that option on previous firmwares. For me, CBR/CBZ files never added to the "Books read" count even though they were read page by page and a page turn on the last page sent me back to the home screen, hence why i had to use the "Mark as finished" option. That happened with every firmware i used (2.6.1b, 2.8.1, 2.10 and now 3.0.0). Kobo books and sideloaded epubs work fine though.

I just don't understand why they did that. For people who read books in foreign languages, they sometimes need to find a translation or explanation for a word they don't know, quickly. I need dictionary and due to lack of this option in the newest FW, I seriously considering going back to 2.10, despite the whole system may work somewhat slower. |

What I find a complete nonsense in recent firmwares is the way to navigate the library, be it books or shelves.
Having to search for specific pages with no possibility to quickly turn or browse pages is simply ridiculous. I hate it. Is there a way to get the page browser back in the library ? |

People squawk about extra white space, I squawk about insufficient in this instance. Maybe there is a way around this besides being ultra careful and getting an insect protector for the screen ( a fly opened a collection and it took me over a minute to get back to where I was) but if so why doesn't Kobo document it?

Im comparing with 2.8 on an Aura HD. I didnt get enough time with 2.10 before updating to notice if 3.0.0 improved things further but I do have a feeling that it made it even more responsive.

I was pretty happy with 2.8.1, and I don't expect to use Pocket at all, but even so I think 3.0.0 is a solid improvement, well worth the upgrade. |

For once I got impatient and sideloaded 3.0 on my Touch. Very, very glad I did. Although there is a significant bug with sleep mode & covers, the performance upgrade from 2.6.1 is unbelievable.
I keep my Shadowrun 5th Ed core rulebook on my Touch (on a 2GB SD card.) It's a fairly large (44.2MB) graphics-heavy PDF. under 2.6.1 things were slow. Zooming in on a page with a double-tap could take seconds. Under 3.0 it's virtually instantaneous. I can't believe it's the same device. |
