It would be good, but, looking at my books I'm surprised at how little it would help. Most are just two level - the title and the chapters under it. Very few would actually benefit from it, and even the indentation isn't going to add much. But, for the few books with complex ToCs it would be great. Last edited by davidfor; 05-30-2019 at 06:58 AM.

Like you say, I have a very few books with more than that, but some of those have hundreds of toc entries with maybe 4-5 levels, and without a collapsible toc, it's nearly useless. In fact, some of those, I've gone through and edited the toc and "manually" collapsed it by deleting the leaf levels. Some of those books have broken up internal tocs in the chapter's first page, which helps some. |

I don’t have many such books (~ 1/5). But it would be nice to have Kobo do collapsible table of contents.

Found a possible anomaly with this FW version on my KA2v1:
after marking some text, looking up this marking in "Notes" and then removing that marking in "Notes", the original marking is still visible when returning to the page. Browsing to next/previous pages does not help to get rid of the markings. Selecting another book and then returning to the original book got rid of the marking. Strange I tend to use marking a lot, so I know definitely that this behavior was not in the previous FW version. Anybody having the same experience? |

Indented subheadings is nice and automatic in WP index generation and then is carried on to the inline contents in an ebook. TBH, I'd rather they fixed long term bugs and usability issues than spend much time on this sort of thing, though the change to indented sub-levels can't have been hard. |

Our three readers the H2O 2nd Edition, GloHD and Glo works well with the new firmware. So far we have not noticed any problems.
The installation of new eBooks via Calibre also works perfectly. |

I went back to FW 4.14.12777 because suddenly all marking ceased to work (you can mark a word, it is indicated, but its not on the notes page) and the last reading location is not remembered anymore, so the reader returned from the notes page to the very first book page. No clue why.
Reverting to the previous FW did solve all that and marking is working again. Go figure |

If it is just one book, can be an error in that book. It can also happen if you edit a book and restructure the internal files or rebuild the ToC and then replace the book without removing it first. The stored version of the ToC doesn't match the book and the navigation doesn't work. That can also cause some problems with annotations. The last reason I can think of is if an epub has been sideloaded as a kepub without the extra spans being added. But, the last time I tried that, the book reopened at the start of the chapter you were up to. |

It happened for other books as well. Quote:

Sure, the above checks does not rule out problems completely. There might be some unforeseen combination. However, for me this is the first time I saw the marking issue at all so I immediately noticed it. Strange that is seems a known problem within earlier FWs. One warning though: I got FWs 4.14.12777 and 4.15.12920 OTA. To revert to 4.14.12777 I downloaded it from the mobileread patch (wiki) locations and got a 7-zip warning about "There are some data after the end of the payload data". I tried 2 different download locations, same error. Previous FW versions do not have that. It might be false alarm, but better safe than sorry. Last edited by DrChiper; 05-31-2019 at 02:47 AM. |

Sorry, I misread what you said and thought it didn't go away.

I tested the download of the Mark6 and Mark7 versions of the file and had the same problem. I don't know if that is new as I don't think I had downloaded the file before. |
