Not sure where they would put the dots in cover view. Since covers have dark areas in different places, the dots would be invisible on many covers. I guess they could slap them inside some white box? Would look a bit funky I think.

Since I use cover view, its moot anyway. The only dots I really want back are the dots that used to be the progress bar on the bottom. Don't think I'll ever get that one back.

There were dots in cover view before the terrible 5.7 update.

Plus, there is a limit to the number of dots. In the same list, I have a 800 pages book and two 1500 pages books and the lines of dots are of the same length.

Huh, I don't even remember that there were dots in the cover view. List view yes. I can't even recall what they might have looked like. Either my brain is turning into swiss cheese, or I get used to new things so fast that other stuff falls out of it to make space.

If they were there before, I wonder why they only put them back for list view then. Maybe even they forgot they were there.

I always liked the 5.7 update so there is that.

I am actually still looking where the KU recommendations are based on genre one specifies in this new update. I see the regular recs, but for me they are mixed with non KU titles in the store. I don't see any section to put in genres. I only see that on goodreads, which was already there with previous update. But that is goodreads recs and not KU recs.

The dots were simply below the covers.

The line of dots for the complete works by Jules Verne (20,000+ pages) is also of the same length than the one for a 1000 page book.

Thanks for the pic. Can't believe I can't remember that. Ok, I do like that. I want that back then, even if I can't remember ever having had it .

When can I download the firmware with WiFi? My Oasis has been online for half an hour and the update your kindle button is still greyed out.

I don't want to connect my Oasis to my PC because I am very paranoid with my Oasis infected with virus. I have no anti virus with my PC. I have my own reason not want to install an anti virus software but that is a separate discussion.

Has the dots replaced the book percentage found in the corner of books in library view in this update?
