I just did a sync of my Touch and no update to 2.1.1 for me either.

There is no 2.1.1 update being released in Canada as far as I know. I have no idea how someone bought a device in Canada with this as the "base" firmware--maybe they got a device that should have gone to Japan???

I haven't paid much attention to the new Kobos (just in case I get Glo-envy like some others on here!) Do we know if they ship with the same FW as the KT? |

Also, there has been quite a lot written around the KT threads about poor margin control. |

In general, the margin control issues have been related to calibre formatted or user formatted books--not kepubs or ePUBs with their original style sheets (with or without DRM)

Thanks for the comment, taming. I haven't had any trouble with the margins (or, at least, they don't bother me), so I couldn't remember exactly what the issue was. PeterT - yes, I found that with mine, but wasn't sure if it was just my bad memory! |

I am not sure if this is an issue with the current firmware though, I get all my reading material from feedbooks.com now. |

Are you having margin problems with epubs from feedbooks.com? Because personally, I've found them to be some of the best "behaved" epubs on the internet.

I tried the my last four EPub purchases from Kobo and 2 had problems. Using the Calibre formatted EPubs, I don't have the problems.
