Aura Aura no longer shows bookcover during sleep

ZIP_Lapp · 09-30-2013, 04:21 AM

My new Kobo Aura had frozen over a weekend of inactivity and wouldn't start before I plugged in the USB cable to charge. I believe the battery had gone low because I left Wi-Fi on? Now I have the problem that the Aura in sleep mode no longer shows the cover of the book I'm reading, instead if shows "Fnac" logo and nothing else (the ereader was bought from Fnac). I have tried logging off and in again etc but nothing seems to help. Could anybody please tell me how I could get the cover images back in sleep mode - thank you in advance!

My impression was that the Kobo devices sold by FNAC didn't have options for the screensaver and displayed the FNAC. But, if that wasn't the case for you, it means the "affiliate.conf" has changed for some reason. The contents should be:

Code:

[General]
affiliate=Kobo

Your file probably has "FNAC" or something like that in place of "Kobo".

It seems that worked, my Aura now shows the bookcovers in sleep mode again. Thank you very much!

Mine was not having this problem, but now is not showing anymore the ugly italian Mondadori logo!

Thanks!
