If that would get rid of the cover bug... but it doesn't, unfortunately.. |

Despite murg's bricking experience at second attempt to install 2.1.1, I tried again. This time, installing over 2.0.0 instead of 2.0.2, it worked! Yay!
System fonts are back to normal... But indeed the cover stretch doesn't seem to do anything Oh well, page turns are fast again so I'll go do some reading! Last edited by Mrs_Often; 08-27-2012 at 12:27 PM. Reason: Typo |

Just updated to 2.1.1.
The update went smoothly just like all the other updates (for me). Page turning in sideloaded epubs is way faster than the 2.0 release. I'd say it's just as fast as previous versions (1.7.x?) Also, I could be imagining it, but the text selection tool seems more responsive and easy to use. Thank you, Kobo team. =] |

I've tried updating to the 2.1.1 firmware twice now and it's not worked. You just toss the contents of the zip right into the root folder of the Kobo Touch and turn off and on the device right?

And then you have to eject the device from you computer and the Kobo should update itself. No turning off and on or anything... Last edited by Jaden; 05-17-2013 at 02:51 PM. |

Some fonts are gone. I installed them manually (from a file someone created), but that does not seem to work anymore with 2.1.1 ... Felbridge, Times New Roman and Delima are gone (or at least missing from the Japanese release...). |

Anyone, have a zip of the missing fronts from 2.1.1? Is it possible to pull them from another Kobo? If so I guess I can try to get them off my wife's non-updated Kobo Touch.

But I love that reading functionality is back to perfect and that the clock turns up in the menu when reading |

Maybe they changed something in the firmware that prevents it? You could extract all of the files except for the fonts from an older installation file... maybe they work if you put them in the fonts folder instead of putting the .tgz with the fonts in the .kobo folder. |

It's a little strange that it's unbalanced, but at least there's not chance to hit the wrong icon now - because the other two on the right don't do anything. But maybe they will shift one of these icons to the left - though which one? Before, it was more logical - icons that actually "did" something when hitting them were on the left, the information icons where on the right... They could maybe put the search function under the three lines as well and shift them to the left. That would unclutter the book menu a little and add more sense to the three lines... and how often does one need to search another book while reading? Would still be unbalanced, though... and I don't really mind either way. There are things I'd care for more (like more tap zone options - can't say that often enough ). Quote:
I prefer the larger covers myself, but well... it doesn't hurt to have the option. |

Looking forward to the official US release. 2.1.1 sounds like what 2.0.0 should have been.

Is it safe to upgrade the firmware before it is officially released via Kobo Desktop? Is there anything to be careful of when doing so? I am very new to this - only had my Kobo for a week - but I am super keen to upgrade the firmware if it fixes the slow page turns. I am currently on 2.0.0 if it makes any difference.
