Hi my Friends,

I've noticed the "bookmarks menu that doesn't work with main memory" is still there with FW 3.0.0... Do you know if next version will correct this bug ?

If you mean all the bookmark/annotations bugs that happen with epubs in the main memory, I doubt it. These are very old bugs, and Kobo do not seem to be interested in fixing them.

My mini works perfect with mark4 3.0 firmware

My mini experience was different.
The only noticeable flaw was the slightly too big cover images on the opening screen.

All functions are working for me.

I just upgraded in the conventional way
- extract to the .kobo directory the three files
- unmount
- unplug wait for kobo to restart

could it be you used the mark3 file intended for the original touch model
rather than the mark4 for the mini etc?

Here the same success!
Mini works with the mark4 firmware 3.0.0

But apart form the too big cover images on the opening screen, I don't see anything new.
No Pocket...

ATM I'm using a Kobo Touch N905 (first hardware revision). Did the WI-FI sync to firmware 2.5.2. Does anybody know (or can make an educated guess) when the 3.0.0 firmware will be available for german customers (for syncing)? I'm not too keen on sideloading the firmware.

i tried the 3.0 firmware again with much better results, usb and wifi are both still working. the only issue being the oversized images on the home screen.

I think you will find those images are set by kobo, and not oversized. Perhaps you could post an image illustrating what you mean?

Good idea. Either take a photo or add the following to the "Kobo eReader.conf". Then use the power slider to take a sceenshot.

Remember as has been said MANY times Kobo stagger rollouts over many weeks. It will arrive via WiFi and Desktop at the sane time.
