Skim pages not working
I have a Libra 2. When I press and hold a button, I expect it to skim forward or backward through the book. However, it only goes forward or backward one page.

Is there some setting I might have messed up? The only changes I've made is to add some fonts and set page refresh (numPartialUpdatePageTurns) to 75. Latest FW.

What should I do to get this to work?

On my Kobo, if I am reading a kepub (either from Kobo or sideloaded), pressing a button will trigger the fast page flip. This does not work for an .epub.

That could be it. I'm reading epubs. Perhaps I'll get the KoboTouchExtended and load books as kepubs.

Yes, the rapid page turn feature is part of the WebKit renderer. It only works with KEPUB.

Is there any downside to converting to kepub (other than having to wait a bit)? Any negatives to how it renders with the default reader?

Maybe I'm missing something here.

How do I enable skim mode on a Libra Colour? I'm sure I never did anything to intentionally disable it but .....

Yes, word spacing tends to be worse in KEPUB, especially if you use ligatures. It depends how picky you are. I use KEPUB exclusively, as I always want access to rapid page turning, the image viewer, the chapter bar chart, and better performance.
