"Mark as unread" popup
The last few firmwares have had this "Mark as unread" message popup periodically about books that are at 1%. I find it really annoying, especially since Kobo usually sets the page at the beginning of the text on transfer to the reader and not at page 1, which is usually the cover, so it of course reads all books as being at 1%.
Is there anyway to stop that popup from ever appearing again? Maybe a patch I missed, or some line in the eReader.conf file? |

As to where the book opens, that depends on the format. For an epub, the book is opened to the first entry in the ToC. That could be the cover/first page, but it is very common for it to be the first chapter. Or a title page, contents or something else in the front matter. For a kepub, it is always the first page.

Thanks for that info. I'll play around with those lines and see what happens. Although I'm certain that many of the books that pop up each month have never been opened by me, not ever. Two of the books on the current popup for sure I've never opened. It seems to have a limit of showing only 5 books when it does popup, at least from what I've seen so far. I've searched the forums before posting and spent too much time afterwards searching again trying various strings and couldn't find anything about it.
For now I went into Manage Books and marked them all as unread. Which now oddly shows only 22 unread books on the homescreen out of 1712 that should show as unread. But I'm happy just to get rid of that message any which way I can for now. |
