In any case, Kobo Plus is something like the Kindle Unlimited. The last I saw, it was only available in one or two countries, Belgium and The Netherlands come to mind. Maybe it is expanding.

NIGHT (inverse color mode) MODE : work in 4.10:

Code:
InvertScreen=True
I'm not sure if there is a question here. These options have been in the firmware a while. The first pair relate to the original Aura H2O. This has an option in the Reading Settings for turning on water detection. They were added when the Aura H2O was released. The latter is a brute-force method of turning on the so-called "night mode".

Is this firmware going to be released for the original H2O (aka mark 5)? If so, I'll wait. If not, I'll wait for the patches and then install the previous firmware and then this one from the .tgz file.

My guess is no. I think the point of the firmware is Walmart and expanded OD support. As none of these are for the older devices, they might be skipped. But, I've asked and I'll see what the response is.

I am doing exactly the same steps except after entering my library card number and the PIN it kicks me back to library select screen. At that point selecting the library again does nothing.

I will try a factory reset and report back.

After a factory reset and reinstall of this firmware both wifi and overdrive are working fine.

Thank you DNSB

I have fixed the version number (it was missing the third part) in my kobofirmware page, and I am working on checking the zlib patches and will be releasing a new kobopatch version once GeoffR updates his patches.

I'm also going to see if I can find anything interesting about this release.

As for the wifi issue, it has happened to me in other versions as well, but I have a few suspicions about what may be causing it. I'll see what I can find.

My Clara HD updated automatically some time today, and I can't seem to be able to connect to Wi-Fi now. I'm also unable to see anything about Overdrive on the home screen or on Settings, where the instructions on the Kobo website say to go to in order to set it up. Does anybody else have this problem?

I've tried downloading the firmware, sideloading and restarting but no luck. Is there anything else I can try?

Edit: Just did a factory reset, then re-sideloaded the latest firmware. Everything seems to be working again, I just managed to sign into Overdrive as well.

Thanks. I'll wait before installing anything. The issue I have is that Kobo gave us (with older devices) a firmware with some bugs and have fixed some of these bugs yet they aren't (currently) giving us the firmware with the fixes.

I'm not bothered about Overdrive or not. But it would be nice to get the fixes officially.

The wifi not keeping the password thing is probably a sign of database corruption, and maybe that messes up overdrive too. That's probably why the factory reset helped. Logging out and back in might have also fixed it.

.

Check your email, Kobo are sending out survey questionnaires in relation to new features
See https://kobo.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f...n01Lmzzp4CPj5H

Might be for US users though (my account is for some reason a US account, might have something to do with me changing the country setting to get three John Bingham novels for free in a promotion some time back.)




Also, got the new firmware for the Aura One OTA using Beta affiliate.
One thing I have definitely noticed compared to the previous firmware is the lack of the obvious and blatant lag when accessing the TOC or putting the device to sleep.

Though it's not without its own hassles, logging out and back in seems to have fixed mine.

But this (or the factory reset) erases all the information in the database, or not?.

I am not sure if making a backup of the available memory content (including database) can allow you to recover the original status (books, covers, stats, etc). I do not want to lose them.

And by the way, taking a look on the translation files, there is a new string "Reading orientation:" not present before. It can be in reading settings.

Does it mean that we can turn now the epubs to landscape orientation?

Are you saying that it fixed the Wi-Fi passwords not remembering as well, or just OverDrive? I seem to be having a problem with that now...

I spoke too soon. The H2O remembered the password for a while, but when I went to set up an Overdrive account at the local library, I would have had to add a wi-fi password to get connected. My Kindle Oasis deals with Overdrive flawlessly so I’ll just use that option if I need to borrow a book.

The wifi info is not stored in the database
