Kobo Aura HD browser crashes when visiting www.kobobooks.com

Merudo · 01-06-2014, 10:27 AM

I'm trying to use the Kobo Aura HD browser (beta version) to visit the kobobooks.com website.

After a while it gives me a "cannot execute script" error and the Kobo freezes completely! At which point I have to plug the device into my computer to get it to unfreeze.

I know the browser is still a work of progress but at the very least it should be able to handle a visit on kobobooks.com.

I'm pretty sure that's a use case they never bothered to check. They expect Kobo e-reader users to just use the Bookstore functionality, not use the browser to visit kobobooks.com.
