How is it I never had an issue with the database becoming corrupted? I went to the home screen and then connected to USB. Not once did I have a database corruption problem.

@geek1011 Could you please figure out how to make Don't uppercase header/footer text and change page number text work in 4/38.23038? Thanks.

Kobo is not endorsing or endorsing a given firmware. That's ridiculous. |

Using OTA is using Kobo's infrastructure, hence Kobo controls/allows you to download their particular software or prohibits it. That you (and I) know a short-cut is irrelevant for casual users. |

Thanks for the update. After making a backup, I went ahead and installed 4.38.23038 manually on my Mini without any issues. I did notice that the menu items feel a tad laggy now, but otherwise, I’m happy to have a fixed firmware on it. |

It could be any number of things. There are many personalized settings and patches that might interfere with each other. I've also wondered if opening several books in sequence (rather than reading just one book to the end before starting another) might have something to do with it, but I wasn't about to experiment. Restoring everything was more trouble than it was worth. Once I discovered that rebooting before connecting solved the problem, I did that. Well, except for the few times I forgot and verified that, yep, the problem still existed. In any case, Kobo seems to have figured out what was causing the problem and fixed it. I have not had a single instance of database corruption with the new firmware in more than twenty connections.

From what I was told, returning to the Home or Books screen has no effect on closing the database write-ahead logging and shared memory files. Those are closed when the last connection to the database is removed. The issue seemed to be that the files were not being flushed completely before the USB connection was established hence the <database_name>.sqlite-wal and <database_name>.sqlite-shm files being visible in the files when looking at the .kobo directory. To me, your experience on a single device is pretty much meaningless. Quote:

OTA for affiliate "kobo" now possible and my Sage is upgrading. Will do Aura One later.
