D, my affiliate is whatever was stipulated when I bought my KA1.
I thought 4.6.9995 was an old version. |

Since installing firmware 4.7.10413 on my Glo, the page that is displayed after finishing a KEPUB book no longer shows the reading stats for the book just finished. This has happened with both of the KEPUB books I have finished since installing this firmware version. Both were books synced from Kobo, not sideloaded.
Is this happening to anyone else, or is it just something wrong with the books or with my device/database? |

Part of my problem with ratings is the different scales used. If you read the description, ratings 1-4 at Goodreads match the 2-5 ratings at Kobo. So, "It was OK", is 3 at Kobo but 2 at Goodreads. Kobo adds "I hated it" at the bottom, and Goodreads "It was amazing" at the top. If the ratings were purely in my own system, I would come up with something personal. But, these are shared, so I need to fit in a bit. |

Not too interested in the games, but can I ask what the Sketch Pad is? If it's just a blank page where you can type notes, I was actually just thinking the other day that I'd like to have something like that. |

I think you're one of the few people who care about fitting in ratings (You only have to read the feedback group in goodreads )

The firmware update includes the same beta features for all the devices. If you patch the device, then more features appear.

Starting with the Glo HD, Kobo dropped most of the beta features. These devices only have the browser and the recently added large print mode. I don't know why they have done this. My first guess would be a licensing issue for something in the games. Or it could be cost. Kobo might have decided not to spend the time and effort (== money) on updating them for the higher resolution screens. |

"Fixed: A highlight that ended at the end of a paragraph could not always be saved"
GOOD! It was really annoying as I might do hundreds of annotations on the Kobo H2O, Calibre reads these back more sensibly than Kindle annotations. |

Just upgraded via Calibre.
Always a scary activity. I know both Android Tablets and Win10 Tablets of friends bricked irrevocably by automatic official firmware updates! Don't see anything different. I do hope the annotation bug is gone, but it was less severe on the last update (4.6.99?). |

Reading stats
The reading stats seem to be broken with this firmware version.
The estimated time remaining in a KePub book still works, and seems to be accurate, but the stats for the current book shown on my "Activity" page are all zeros even after I have been reading for hours, and the total hours read has not increased. The problem of the stats not being shown on the ratings page after finishing a KePub book is probably just a side-effect of this, it sees that the stats are all zero and so doesn't display them. (Edit: The heroine in this book is called Terisa Morgan, or sometimes Lady Terisa of Morgan. I feel like I've heard that name somwhere ...) Last edited by GeoffR; 12-20-2017 at 09:03 PM.

I've also read a couple of short stories as epubs, and they don't show stats. Quote:
Edit: I didn't read the original post properly. I read it as the end of book page not showing up, not that it was showing up but with no stats. So, * I gave the Aura ONE to my wife to try instead of her Glo. I don't think I'm getting it back until I get her a new one. But, I've got another toy to play with in the meantime Last edited by davidfor; 12-21-2017 at 07:01 AM. |

looks like I'll be downgrading until the bug is fixed. Reading stats are one of the few features I actually use...
