Is this firmware supposed to scan your SD card for new books every time one turns on the device after shutting it off? It's doing that on my Kobo Aura and, with 1615 books, it takes a while, not to mention it messed up my read books. Several books I read are marked as Not Read, and same goes for most of the books I'm currently reading.

For the record, on previous firmwares I got a warning about not recognizing the SD card every time I turn my Aura back on after turning it off (and I still get it on this firmware) but that was it, everything kept working as normal. I believe it's related to the SD card reading speed, since I never got said warning when using a class 10 card.

I just want them to fix their seriously outdated browser. It's becoming useless.

It's a beta feature and honestly was always pretty useless.

Are you using kepubs on the card? If so, that's the problem. Any kepub on the card will be be reprocessed as new book and the reading status lost. epubs seem to be OK. I don't know about other formats. Kobo know about it and are looking at it.

From memory, I have a mix of class 4 and class 10 cards. None give me a problem except when I fumble the insert. The problems like this reported over the years have been as much with different SD card manufacturers as anything. And formatting the card with the SD card formatter clears up a lot of problems. Does the same message get displayed when the device wakes from sleep? If so, not powering off is a solution.

They broke it though. The last firmware update before this one. If Kobo's going to give a feature even in beta then at least they can support it.

If I remember correctly, the breakage was not downloading files larger than 2MB in size. And that was fixed in the 4.4.x firmware.

Kobo do support the browser. The "beta" status means the support is normally a lower priority than other features and if there is a reasonable workaround, then it might be a bit longer before the fix is done. But, the one time they broke it completely, it was fixed very fast.

This firmware update indeed seems to have solved my problem with the light that remained on when my KA1 should be sleeping. At last. And Frostschutz, no battery drainage anymore.

I don't like that a page refresh happened every time after using dictionary.

edit: it happened if I mark a word or ‫ ‫sentence, I don't know if it is a bug but it's really annoying.

Yes, when you dismiss the dictionary/annotations menu there are two refreshes. Very annoying. Kobo know about it. It should be fixed in the next release.
