Are patches available, or do the changes require more work?
I just want to remove the slide to unlock on my forma. (it's bloody annoying, what were they thinking?) Other than that, everything else seems to be working fine for me. |

Ugh. I can't stand the new navigation. It reminds me of the Nook home screen navigation, and I can't stand that either. Oh the clutter...
Kobo had such a clean looking home screen before IMO. Going to rollback and disable updates... |

Okay. That was painless. The device remembered my 'devmodeon' and 140% large print settings.
That slider in the lists needs a way to go forward or back one page only. I have a LOT of collections, which makes the slider VERY approximate. Especially with big fingers. Last edited by Calenorn; 08-11-2020 at 03:06 PM. |

Had a look at .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf file and there's nothing to keep the clock always on, one can always hope.

Windows won't recognize my device after this update.
Edit: It worked in a different port. Strange. Last edited by s4nder; 08-11-2020 at 03:43 PM. |

Best trick I've seen yet! No idea why only the Forma has that stupid "Swipe to Unlock" feature (if you can call it that)...

Is Kobo pushing OTA updates yet? I've done a sync, and no update is showing up for me.
I'm not sure whether I care to download it manually, or just wait... |
