This is why I have no patience for publishers who release badly-coded books. Some code is just not as clean as it could be, and that usually doesn't cause problems, but then you get cases like this...

Except that Gabe81's problem probably wasn't caused by bad code. It was probably just a big book, with lots of ToC entries. Bad code will probable acerbate it, but, I have reproduced the problem with very simply coded books (just the chapter heading wrapped in header tags, and each paragraph wrapped in p tags, and maybe a few sentences or words wrapped in italics).

Hello everyone, this is my first time writing something here. I have a problem with my rewards of being a reader in Kobo Aura HD, there is a long time I don't receive any new reward, and it started two years ago, I think. Does anyone know why my rewards are not being updated?

I doubt this is actually a bug. While Kobo still have the awards system on the devices, they haven't change them for well over two years. There are still several awards that I haven't gotten, but I never will as I don't use Facebook or otherwise use the device in a way to get the remaining awards.

There is a long thread here discussing the awards. If you can't seem to get an award, I would suggest having a look a that to see if there are clues on what you need to do.

Personally, I don't care about the rewards. I prefer to read how I want rather then to have to do things I don't want to do just to get a reward.

Doing high-lights has always been a sore thing with Kobo... but it usually works ok now.

Today I made a bunch of high-lights in a book. Later I opened the book and they were all gone. Paging through the book there were none to see.

But from "My Books", choosing "Annontations" showed them all.

I'm running an original Kobo Touch with firmware 4.5.9587

On the Wi-Fi popup, the top-left and bottom-left corners of the surrounding box have the horizontal lines coming out too far.

It's a way of spying on readers. I'd turn it off.

My Kobo Glo HD is running 4.7.10413 and is set to a full refresh after each chapter.
Whenever I use the dictionary lookup from a book, there's no refresh immediately after I close the dictionary window (that's nice because I don't see any ghosting so a refresh is indeed unnecessary) as in some older firmwares but there's a full refresh after the next page turn (which seems completely unnecessary). I don't think I noticed such a behaviour in the 4.6.x firmwares but I'm not sure.

Not really. It does seem to timeout sometimes, but the next try is always successful.

How to you know it is stopping after a call to api.kobobooks.com? There should be a lot of calls to that. Are you saying it make one and then does nothing?

Hello,

I bought recently a Kobo Aura 2nd Edition.
One of the features I liked the most was the possibility of tracking the reading time, pages per minute, etc.
However, it is not working at all, and when it did, it gave some wrong numbers, like not the real reading time but much higher.
I find this frustrating and amazing: my firmware is the latest: 4.7.10413 (168741200a, december the twelfth).

I have done a factory reset twice, it begins working and then stops.

I have bought a couple of books, but most of my books are sideloaded using caliber.

Can anyone give a hint about how to solve this issue?

Thanks

Known bug, I think. Mentioned on the thread for the latest firmware. Works fine on the previous one.
