I’m waiting on patches (and a fully detailed report from JSWOLF about every intricate detail of this update) to update.

But I’m reasonably sure that Kobo isn’t going to remove a feature they just added that quickly unless it’s causing bugs.

Again a guess but you probably won’t see it in sleep mode. It’d definitely have a battery impact then since the screen would need to be updated, and calls to various processes would need to be made.

And given kobo has had a clock in the reader for longer than I’ve used a Kobo I would be surprised if they moved it from the menu pop up.

And then if we also consider the poor accuracy of the touch of the Aura One, the problem is even more serious.

Maybe it's more "cute", maybe you save a touch but it's less functional.
Arrows again, vertical, not horizontal but they do the job.

My only comment: This is just about adding the arrows to the scrollbars. I assume Kobo had a lot of complaints. I don't believe there are any other changes. But, it does seem to have been rolled out everywhere immediately.

As this is a minor update to the 4.23.x firmware, see my post in the 4.23.15505 thread for more details of the changes relative to older firmware.

calibre
For calibre, the change needed for the 4.23.x firmware versions have already been made. They will be in the next calibre release. Until then, it is safe to use the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option in the drivers.

For some reason after grabbing the firmware update my Kobo Aura HD sometimes locks up when I wake it from sleep (the touch stops responding) and I have to reboot it to make it work again. I hope its a temporary glitch with the firmware and not the age of my reader.

Arrows: slight glitch

I definitely appreciate the arrows to scroll one page at a time. They are manageable on my KA1, but they are still small, so I wonder how manageable they are on smaller screens. Still an improvement on the previous firmware.
The only glitch I have is that sometimes even if I press the arrow (and I can see that it has been pressed) the page doesn't change. It takes 2-3 presses to move. Strange, but not a problem.

Am I missing something with the page scrolling thing? I just swipe left/right to page up/down.

It is there on my Clara HD, as well as on all my other devices.

The conf of my KA2v1 shows this:

Code:
[DialogSettings]
ReleaseNotesShown=true
The Clara showed this:

Code:
[DialogSettings]
TasteProfileJitShown=true
I added the ReleaseNotesShown=true to my Clara, restarted, but no change. So its still odd.

I have a Kobo Aura One LE, Forma, and Libra H2O, and none of them have the "What's New" entry after upgrading to FW 4.23.15505.

The plot thickens: so there must be "something" which determines when to display this entry. It is not related to:
  • language
  • config file
  • affiliation
  • version
  • dev-mode
