This firmware should be installable on older devices. Also, this firmware is on a way faster rollout than usual (now on almost every affiliate just 3 hours later).

Installing now on my Forma. Affiliate of Kobo did not find the update when syncing so changed it to Bestbuyca and syncing downloads the update.

I assume that this firmware has the fix for the .kepub stylesheet bug?

Can confirm it fixes the stylesheet issue thanks to a friend testing it.

I assume the swipe-to-unlock feature is still there?

One would expect consistant behaviour: if you need to swipe when walking from sleep when using the button, than one would expect a swipe to be needed when walking from sleep when opening the cover.

And FWIW, I wish the swiping was an option, or go back to the way it used to be.
Has anyone asked Kobo if this is a feature or a bug? |

Previous Kobos have had one magnet in the device and one in the cover. The official Forma cover must have one in the front cover, one in the back cover. Last edited by jackie_w; 11-06-2018 at 03:00 PM. Reason: nonsense |

Eh it’s less likely that the sleep cover will open significantly enough to wake the device accidentally than the wake/ sleep button getting pressed. I’m not saying either is very likely just that one is more likely.
