This is weird considering that #words is an integer! try this instead: Code:
program:if round($$#words / 12000) > 1 then round($$#words / 12000) - 1 else 0 fi program:if round($$#words / 12000) > 1 then round($$#words / 12000) else 1 fi Does anybody know whether it is possible to force Calibre to consider it as an integer without performing an arithmetic operation? This would save computing time. Last edited by CyberPaul; 05-11-2022 at 04:47 PM. |

I tried to download an update direct to the kobo using its internal browser (still listed under the Beta features tab), and though I navigated to a site with the download, when I hit the download button, nothing happened.

1) Download to PC. (Mac, Linux or Windows) 2) Unpack file 3) Make sure Kobo charged more than 50%, on home screen and connect to USB. 4) Copy the files and subdirectory into .kobo on the ereader via USB. You may need to enable show hidden directories/folders. 5) Eject and wait for home screen before unplugging USB 6) Don't do anything till it's rebooted and on home screen again. 7) Power off and on as final check. 8) Check version in Settings. |

For firmware updates, do a sync. The device will contact the Kobo servers and look for an update. If one is found for your device, it will be downloaded directly to the device. When that is finished, you should be prompted to install the update. If an update is not found, it means that Kobo is not offering the update to your device. Kobo do not offer updates to everyone at once. There are initial restrictions based on the affiliate and location (as determined by you IP address). But, everyone should be getting it now. I am not sure of the exact number, but the update does need more than 100MB of free space on the device. The file being downloaded is close to 100MB in size and then it needs to be unpacked. I don't remember if the device silently skips the download if there isn't what it considers to be enough space, or if it tells you. The update will also be skipped if the battery level is to low. But, in that case, it downloads the file and then checks the battery level and reports that it can't do the update. If you have issues, with either of the above, then manually installing the as @Quoth suggests can be done. It doesn't have the space restriction other than needing enough space to put the files onto the device. And you do not have to unplug the device for the update to happen. It should happen when the eject is done. |

I improved the formulas. With below I got pretty much same estimate shown on kobo store.
Code:
program:floor($$#words / 12000) program:ceiling($$#words / 11150) With this approach lower and higher estimates start to diverge when the books are big, and this is ok. Same is happening on kobo store. Having always higher = lower + 1 does not make sense when number of words is significant and uncertainty on estimate is increased. I also materialized these two attributes as custom columns so I don't need to transfer them onto the kobo device to see the estimates produced |

After a long time I side loaded a few books and ran into an issue with this version. Some background: I'm a native Hebrew speaker and I read books both in Hebrew and English. Before this version, author names and book titles in Hebrew didn't display correctly because of missing glyphs. Only after you open a Hebrew and force loading/using a font with Hebrew glyphs they were displayed correctly. You had to do that just once till the next restart, which rarely happened.
With this version, however, I need to do that forcing thing after every time I connect the device to my PC. and it's not enough to just open a book in Hebrew, I need to open the supplemental font menu. This is annoying. |

Polish language
Hi
After upgrade to this version I noticed something very new and suprising. The interface of my device changed to my native language which is polish. I do have CurrentLocale and ExtraLocales both set to "pl". Translation is not perefect but almost everything is nicely done. Major mistake is with "on" and "off" options in menu which are translated as "W dniu" ("on day" in english) and "Zniżki" (probably from something like "50% off price") while it should be "Włączone" ("turned on") and "Wyłączone" ("turned off"). The captions sometimes don't fit in the space intended for them and menu fonts don't have some polish characters so fallback font is used which looks ugly (but we can deal with this by uploading different fonts in place of Georgia and Avenir by a kobopatch) There is no option for polish language in menu after upgrade (checked this on vanilla device) but setting ExtraLocales to pl in config file is enough to get Extra: pl and choosing it changes the language to polish. It can be of course changed back to any other officially supported language and changed again to polish. It looks like the polish version is being prepared but is not fully tested yet and therefore unofficial and unavailable. Have anybody else noticed something like that with their language not officialy supportded by Kobo? Last edited by mietek81; 05-16-2022 at 07:42 AM. |

So yeah, I do know that there were some tools for doing your own translation as in the past I was thinking about doing polish (but never had the time for that). But it would be of great help if you could point me to those tools or specific threads here on editing this file. |
