Easily fixable "Turning on BT turns on WiFi" bug still not fixed. Since you can see first if WiFi is on or off, turn on BT and then go to WiFi and turn it off again if it was off, and BT is still on, then this can easily be fixed.

Two Sage models now rolled back to 4.32.x as either version of 4.33.x makes the Advanced Notebooks intermittent for writing or export.

There was no scientific rational to the Open Dyslexic font, it's just someone's artistic endeavour. |

Scientific studies re: Open Dyslexic Font, per Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDy...ntific_studies Two small studies have investigated the effect of specialized fonts used with students with dyslexia. Rello and Baeza-Yates (2013) measured eye-tracking recordings of Spanish readers (aged 11–50) with dyslexia and found that OpenDyslexic did not significantly improve reading time nor shorten eye fixation.[16] In her master's thesis, Leeuw (2010) compared Arial and Dyslexie with 21 Dutch students with dyslexia and found Dyslexie did not lead to faster reading, but may help with some dyslexic-related errors.[17] The British Dyslexia Association recommend “plain, evenly spaced sans serif font such as Arial and Comic Sans. Alternatives include Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic, Trebuchet”.[18] |

Hey, I'm not going to say no to free features. Besides, people need to look past what's in front of them and consider the possibilities and potential. Kobo just gave us a way to mod the UI font. Now people who need Cyrillic or whatnot to display book titles properly can do so without sacrificing Avenir or Georgia by replacing OpenDyslexic (a font that most people won't use) with something more useful. That's a win to me.

I don't remember if it was working already like this with the previous version... When I use default font for a kepub, I can't modify its font weight within advanced properties. It rather shows supplemental character (AR UDJingxihei). Do you confirm that there is no way to change default font weight?

Also, when you select "Publisher Defaults" for the font, it does not use the advanced settings when reading. If you set weights for the fonts used by the device when the book does not specify them, they are not used. |

Is anyone with any sort of locks, crashes, etc., are you running nanoclock?

Jon, believe me, if this were easily reproducible, I'd have said so.
I almost never get a crash while just reading (Kobo-store-bought Kepubs synched directly to the device), but often get them when going from an open book back to the home screen or My Books or into Pocket or ... But I've detected no pattern that I can reproduce. |

Not sure if it has to do with the latest firmware or the latest personal French dictionary but now every time I search for a word, it’s the custom dictionary that opens (or the last one that was open, I guess.) Before, it was always the original French Kobo dictionary that was open when I searched a word and I had to choose the custom one in a list. Anyway, it’s very cool.
