But sorting options are back again? Or if you don't see the dropdown menu them before you still don't have it?

The options is "Show header and footer". It works as advertised and for both epubs and kepubs. If you make the change from within a book, you might need to reopen the book for it to take affect.
This seems not to be working on my 6" Aura. Even after rebooting the device, I can't see any new section in "Reading settings".

So using an affiliate of 'bestbuyca' gives me the update link... but so does an affiliate code of 'beta', and I'm definitely not a beta tester although that's not from any lack of trying to get someone to let me in!

I noticed though that my sideloaded font (Fontin Sans) is now showing everything using the SmallCaps variant except for italicized or bold words, even if I remove the SmallCaps variant. I think that's something to do with the font itself though, if I use a font without a SmallCaps variant (Fontin) or a built-in font everything appears fine.

There's something interesting. dhcpcd is started at boot if you have dhcpcd=true in your Kobo eReader.conf. This could fix some connection problems.
Furthermore there's a lowmem.ko kernel module loaded at startup. The name is suggestive.

Yes, mainly bug fixes.

With 3.2.0, I constantly saw a problem when I finished a book. If I left it, it just stayed on the last page. If I tapped the screen after about 30 seconds, the home screen would be displayed but the tap was passed to it and did whatever tapping that part of the him screen did. A similar thing happened when I opened the collections list. A few others reported the collection list problem, but I don't remember if anyone saw the problem when finishing a book.
Quote:

The collecting list sorting options were only missing if the option was not in the config file. That has been fixed. And for the Touch, which doesn't have the sorting options, the list is sorted by name if the option is not in the file. But, I might have to take this back. I just tested my Glo and it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe it was only fixed for the Touch which doesn't have the sort options. I can't test that at the moment.

I updated my Aura HD but having two issues with the sideloaded kepubs.

1. The line spacing slider is all the way to the left and I still have somewhat more space between lines. I prefer to have text between lines to appear somewhat tighter.

2. The last alphabet in a line is only partially visible.

Does anyone else noticed these issues on their device after updating to 3.3.0? Could it be because of Kobo Extended Plug-in?

I don't have an Aura, but it is definitely there on my Glo. Each of the sections are squished a little bit and the "Page layout" section is added after the page refresh.

When the option is unchecked, it adds a line to the "Reading" section of the config file. So adding "fullScreenReading=true" in that section as well should hide the headers and footers.

And the case of the option name is important. It must be "FullScreenReading" in the "FeatureSettings" section and "fullScreenReading" in the "Reading" section.

And I just looked at my original post. I said to add the two lines. Was there already a "FeatureSettings" section? If so, add the "FullScreenReading" line as part of that section.

Yes there was a "FeatureSettings" section already there.

Still prefer the page layout produced from the footer / line height patch.

My quick testing says that a one uSD card that had issues is now recognized. Unfortunately, another uSD card that didn't have issues now shows the format as FAT32 message but works if you just continue on. With such a limited sample, could just be coincidence.

Do you noticed that there's a trick to instantly see an already opened book? Last page is displayed, but you can't interact with the book. Probably that is a screenshot of the last seen page, since closing book is more slow now.

You might want to check this post from GeoffR in the Kobo Patcher thread.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=688

It does not have all the patches yet but the ones I use the most are there (footer, line spacing, font size) plus quite a few others.

If you have the original Touch (N905, N905B), use the kobo3 link, if you have the new Touch (N905C) use the kobo4 link if you look in the Direct Links thread.

I picked up the download link from my daughter's Touch N905 so it is available depending on how the roll-out goes.

This is is being written from what we "affectionately" refer to as the Wet Coast of BC.

David
