I have been trying the Set reader font option and it does not seem to work right for me.
I changed the line spacing from 1 to 2 and the line spacing actually got tighter although the slider position was increased about 25%. The dialogue box shows it as 2 when it pops up and as 7 when I click get configuration settings. The custom settings show it as 1.07 but the lines are almost touching now on the reader. I was thinking one box was for slider position, but I only get 8 and the get functions show it as 7 where it is only at the second or third so I must be wrong on that. Tried another book and the line spacing changed although it does not seem to be what I wanted, probably I am not understanding. Also the font became really small and the margins negative. Just me being stupid I imagine. Helen Long detailed step by step Spoiler:

Helen: I don't know what's happening with using the set reader font options and the seeming loss of the database on the device. Because of this and other font discussions, I spent a bit of time using it yesterday without any problems. If you are willing to risk it again, could you run calibre in debug mode and post or send me the log? Maybe I'll be able to see what is happening.
For the controls on the dialog, the only thing I can say is . I had hard-coded the number of values in the line spacing spin button and that didn't match how many the firmware now has. That meant if the line spacing was set to 2 (the ninth stop on the slider) or higher and you retrieved the configuration, what was displayed was inconsistent. I'll have a fix out for that later today. As to the negative margins, I don't know what is happening. If I set negatives in the database or config file, they seem to be treated as zero margins. Unless it is an interaction with a setting in the book. |

Your Aura HD is the monster under the bed? Is it that you end up screaming every time it escapes? Or maybe it is the prison that holds the monsters? I suppose that depends on what you read .

Hello David,
I am new here and was advised by Kovid Goyal to report an error on this forum. (I was looking for an error report entry in this thread, but could not find it). The Kobo Utilities plugin works fine for my Kobo Aura. I do have version 1.6.4 and it loads the books I have from Calibre to my Kobo Aura. Fine. However... when I load the book below, the Kobo Utilities plugin post the following message: calibre, version 1.33.0 FOUT: Fout: Fout bij communicatie met apparaat Failed to parse 'De kolonel krijgt nooit post' by 'Gabriel Garcia Marquez' with error: '' (file: calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container, line: 319) Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 86, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 571, in _upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver" , line 276, in upload_books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1898, in upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver" , line 220, in _modify_epub InvalidEPub: Failed to parse 'De kolonel krijgt nooit post' by 'Gabriel Garcia Marquez' with error: '' (file: calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container, line: 319) ...it seems to be a parsing error? Can you plaese help? Last edited by jmn; 04-21-2014 at 05:35 AM. |

jmn: I'd love to help, but that doesn't look to be my code. That looks like an error when sending a book to the device using the Kobo Touch Extended Driver. It usually means the book has an error in it or something unusual in the code. The driver is discussed in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=211135. The first post has info on reporting bugs.

This should only happen when you try updating the metadata for a book that you have sent to the device but has not been processed into the internal database. You can't change the metadata until you disconnect and the book is processed. But, it shouldn't error like this. I have fixed it and will put 1.6.5 up in a few minutes. This will be the only change. |

My "Percent Read Column" has stopped being updated in calibre.
The only changes I'm aware of is a update to "Kobo Utilities" and a update to Calibre. Is there a known issue with either of these? Kobo Aura firmware 3.2 |

Can you check that the plugin configuration still has the correct column? If it correct, can you run calibre in debug mode, do a store and post the log? I should be able to see what is happening from that. |

Found the problem, "store current bookmarks on connect" was not enabled.
Sorry, I double checked and still missed this. |
