Touch Kobo Touch Firmware 1.9.7

MDK · 07-26-2011, 07:37 PM

Kobo Touch Firmware 1.9.7 has been released.

• Sleep and power off screens now show full screen book covers!
• File type labels now distinguish Kobo EPUBs from other EPUBs.
• Various performance and stability improvements.

I just turned on my Touch, and it did a software update. Once finished it informed me that the version was 1.9.6 (July 13, 2011) but i had already installed 1.9.6 when it first came out.

What am I missing?

I suppose it's too late to say that I liked having the white/black surrounding the cover image to distinguish Sleep from Power Off?

Got the update again and it was updated to 1.9.7, is there a new desktop app. loving the full page cover

Got it installed. Seems to have messed up the font sizing in a book that I was currently reading. Font sizes won't change (they would before). Interesting.

Thanks kobo, worked for me. I like the "kobo epub" and "epub" tags

The 1.9.7 sleep and power-off message boxes have different backgrounds. Sleep is white and power-off is black.

I've seen folks in the Beta group mention this. There's a fix I believe. I'll wait for the formal response from someone.

This is a firmware release only.

The bug where side loaded epubs deleted from the SD card via the K.T. are actually still on the SD card is not fixed. A paper clip reset simply brings them back to KT.

Still didn't fix my reader storage/factory reset error which comes up every time I take it out of power off mode.
