The reason for this seems to be the introduction of new code for a NewKepubReader using the internal kepub-book.css file. I don't know whether this new code is actually in use in this firmware version but the fact that it exists means that some of the unique code, which the old kepub Multi-version patches rely on, actually appears twice in the libnickel.so.1.0.0 file. I'm guessing this may not be a serious problem but it will require extra work to get the old kepub patches working again. |

The new home screen is less attractive/useful to me than the one I have. I run 3.19.5613 on mine.

How does the experimental night mode work? Once added to the config file, is it a toggle under Reading Settings like with Full Screen mode? That would be fantastic!

I highly disagree with that choice of firmware. 3.19.5761 is better. That's what I was using before trying the 4.2.8432. I'm interested in seeing the new home screen and the series sort.

I haven't found a way to dismiss tiles on the new home screen yet. Personally, I think it's a great leap back since I see no use in having half the home screen used for what amounts to advertising.

My Books would not be blank since it's a link to your onboard library. Otherwise, I'm not sure what any blobs that display network content would look like.

I noticed that entering then exiting demo mode now resets settings.

Yes. On my KA1, it inverts the screen and leaves it inverted. Much like using the nightmode hack on the KA1, there is no easy way to toggle the setting. After you change the .conf file, I needed to power cycle my KA1 to change the mode.
