I've installed the firmware in a Clara without patches, and my dictionaries and clock have survived (some of the most important things). A lot of translations are missing but not a problem, I love the new header and footer, it's exactly what I wanted.

Are there any changes to how the page numbers are calculated?
I am still hoping for dynamic page numbers for the entire book. (So far this is only possible per chapter in kepubs.) |

The new FW is working fine on my Clara. I like the header and footer.
I notice that checking the box for Show Adobe EPUB page numbers has no effect. (I have kepubs exclusively.) Also, the ability to long-press the footer to toggle the information displayed is gone. I had to raise the Mini-Clock display 4 pixels to allow room for the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Now just need patches to allow Advanced options for sideloaded fonts and a couple of minor things. Very nice! |

Yes, this has changed. The full book page numbers for kepubs are calculated in the same way as the per-chapter page number.

The bottom margin without the progress bar doesn't show any difference, but, how much space is left at the bottom relies heavily on choices such as the font, font size, line spacing and exactly what is on the page. And for those who are waiting, I have updated the driver in calibre for the Libra H2O. The supported firmware version has been bumped to 4.17.13579. That isn't going to be the actual release version, but it is close enough to what will be released. It is waiting to be merged to the calibre main branch. I don't know when a release will be made with this in it. |

I don't get it. Kobo seems to understand some people want narrow margins, because unlike Amazon you can have small left right margins. But after all this time they still can't take the next step and reduce the top bottom margins to match.
Now, I get that the bottom margin is tricky and depends on font size line spacing etc, but there's no excuse for that top margin. |

The 4.16 version also has *serious* navigation issues with Kepub that do not have full page image insert. Going backwards takes you to the first page of the previous chapter/file, not the previous page.
Edit: But this only happens if you have the Chapter Progress Header on. Last edited by rashkae; 09-12-2019 at 10:59 PM. |

Am I the only one that wishes the information on the header and footer were swapped? Having the book info on the bottom and the chapter info at the top seems weird.
I suspect the change has to do with the new progress bar at the bottom, so I understand the rationale. But it still looks weird. |

Has anyone noticed if their table of contents have disappeared? I installed the new firmware on my Clara and everything seems to work fine except I have no more table of contents on my sideloaded books.

the table of contents Icon is at the very bottom left when you have the controls open/visible.. It also displays the current chapter name.
