david, that's good to know.

I'll have to see if there is anything in the new firmware update that benefits my user profile. (I kind of doubt there will be!?!)

It's not out. He's asking if what's going to be new in the update is out. And no, details of that are not.

It is a bug that NO finished books get added to the finished stat.

I think think it boils down to you won't get a warning box from Calibre when the next firmware is released.

Yes, calibre 2.69 has support for firmware version 4.1. There are no changes in this firmware version that need changes in calibre other then a firmware version bump. I expect the firmware release will be sometime next week.

There are other updates to the driver. One is that OverDrive books are recognised. They will be matched with books in the calibre library and, in the device view, the collections column have "OverDrive" included in the collections.

Question Vendor Screen Saver is Back!

I did the same. The screen saver from the vendor 'FNAC' disappeared.

But now, it has made a comeback. Is it coz of the sync OR is it lying somewhere on the device to spring back? What am I doing wrong here?

When I see inside the .kobo folder, I see 2 .conf files. One by the affiliate and another of kobo. So even after renaming the affiliate file it is making a comeback.

Please advise.

Don't rename affiliate.conf to kobo.conf. Edit it with an end of line respecting editor (for Windows, I use Notepad++, for Linux and Mac, any editor) and change the line where it reads affiliate=fnac to affiliate=Kobo. Sample of what the contents of the file should be:

Code:
[General]
affiliate=Kobo
