Hmmmmm.....Downloaded the update today and now my screen says: "Unfortunately, Tapestries has stopped."....which suggests it should be working. Anyone know how I can get it back?

Tapestries is very fragile after the update. Plenty of us are getting in a situation where it's just flashing (a loading/crashing cycle). Best you can do is open Google Play (if you have trouble, either go to the lock screen and swipe up or long press on the Home button to run Google now and go to Play through the card there that should be warning you that Google Search wants to update) and download an alternative launcher (GO Launcher EX, Nova, etc.) to use until Kobo gets an update out to fix the problems.

What I have done, however is to rediscover how I did it last time, which is to download to my pc using Adobe Digital Editions, then to locate the files (ePubs) on my local disc, and copy them across to the Arc using Windows Explorer. The Aldiko can see and open them (but Kobo can't). |

Hello,
regarding the new Android version (Jelly Bean), could you (Kobo devs) please make a change so that the time is (optionnaly or not) still displayed in the lower bar (right corner), even in smaller size than it was displayed in ICS ? With a lot of apps, the upper bar is masked and there is no way to see the time except returning to the home page then returning to the app ! White color would be more "discrete"... Thanks for your understanding ! Regards from France. Last edited by Dangze; 03-23-2013 at 11:00 AM. |

Hi,
I am developing interactive publications in HTML5/ePub3 that work in a Web browser or iBooks. Does anyone know if the Kobo Arc supports ePub3 with javascript as iBooks does (or better). Thanks |

That is all app-specific, not device-specific. You'll need to check the browsers, ebook reading apps, etc...

Alan - below are the instructions from my local library on how to download directly to an Android device using Aldiko, it works for me!
In order to successfully download to your Android device you must have the Aldiko app installed. Once installed and configured with your Adobe ID you can start to download your titles by browsing this site from your device. Add us to Aldiko's "My Catalogs" You can add us as a short cut within Aldiko. Doing this will allow Aldiko to automatically handle all downloads from this site. To add us to your Aldiko App, open Aldiko and follow the guidelines below. From the main screen choose "Store", then tap the menu button (top right of screen) and choose "My Catalogs". To add a new catalog tap the "+" button. Enter a title i.e. Library eBooks along with our address http://westlothian.libraryebooks.co.uk in the URL field. (N.B : The http:// is required to precede the our address). Our eBook service is now available in "My catalogs". As I say this works for me and I'm hoping your local library service uses the same system. Good Luck! |

[QUOTE=Dangze;2461618]Hello,

This seems like a no- brainier to me and I am surprised no one on the dev team noticed this annoying loss of functionality. |

Could the multiple user feature of Jelly Bean be enabled?

I've just done the system update on my kobo arc and very disappointed to find the clock and power symbol has now moved to the top of the screen.
I liked being able to keep an eye on the time and battery levels when reading or using other apps. And I'm sure other arc users found this useful. I'm on the verge of wanting to do a factory reset just to bring it back but don't want to have to set it all up again. PLEASE BRING BACK THE CKOCK TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE SCREEN! Or add the option for users to choose whether its visible or not. Thanks!!! |

Anyways, I found a way to display the upper bar when needed, installing this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...statusbar.free which is working well... Regards. Last edited by Dangze; 03-31-2013 at 11:29 AM. |
