So you don't mind eventually breaking your H2O?

Obviously I wouldn't​be happy if it broke, but then again I bought it mainly to read books on the go and I don't particularly like bags and such so I'm just accepting the risk.

It's not a risk. It's a matter of when. It will break.

Luckily, we aren't all as clumsy as you

I've been putting either my Glo, Aura H2O or Glo HD in my pockets while walking between buses and trains since I got them. Exactly which pocket I use, depends on the clothes and which device I have with me. Guess how many I have broken?

In any case, it is a matter of risk assessment and usability. I have a choice of putting the device in my pocket, carrying in my hand, or putting it in my backpack. If I carry it, I could easily get bumped or otherwise lose my grip and drop it. That's a much bigger risk than putting it in my pocket. If I put it in my backpack, I have to take it off my back open it, put the device in, walk to the next bus/train, take the backpack off, open it and get the device out. Very inconvenient. And, if you think about, the risk of dropping the device while trying to put it in or take it out of the backpack with people walking by is fairly high. Overall, putting it in pockets is at least as safe as any of the alternatives. And much handier. Overall, the risk of putting the device in my pocket is acceptable.

It's time to stop your anti-pocket campaign. Just assume we are all adults, or reasonable facsimiles thereof, and accept that we are capable of making informed decisions on this.

Change it in the affiliate.conf file. That's under the .kobo directory on your device. That directory may be hidden depending on your OS settings. Make sure you use Notepad++ or another suitable editor (NOT Windows Notepad) to make the changes.

Also if you install pbchess, you will be able to edit the settings directly on your device.

Another thing:
I noticed while translating that there should be an option to add words to a personal vocabulary, "My words" list, but I can't find the related menu option anywhere. Is this a real feature, or something prepared for future release? How to use it? Is this only available for specific affiliates, regions, language settings, or dictionary?

One thing I've noticed with this firmware is that page turns for ePub are faster.

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is that one of the recent updates broke the charging light. It just stays red and never turns green when fully charged. Am I the only one who has the charging light setting on?

Incidentally I've just let these updates come automatically, and I'm still on .8945 despite nightly syncing. My affiliate is Kobo.

Why are you posting about a problem with 4.3.8945 in a thread for 4.3.8966? Just side load 4.3.8966 and see if the problem still exists and if so, then come back and post about it.
