Any other information? My replacement Elipsa shows up in two days. I'm curious what they've fixed. Hopefully, they've tracked down what was causing some people database issues with disappearing books, etc.

I haven't noticed anything different, but any of the issues I have had haven't been reproducible. I had mine hang on me once for example when switching to dark mode, a forced restart fixed that and hasn't happened since. It also forgot my wifi password once, and have had it display a blank page coming out of sleep mode a couple of times, tapping on the screen got the screen to display properly. All these issues happened over the last week or so, I'm on vacation so it is getting a lot of use. I am hoping this update fixes some of these random issues.

I turned on the wifi this morning in order that Kobo update my firmware, hoping my "database corrupted" would improve, but no.
After the update, I checked my parameters, connected Elipsa to my PC and to Calibre. I updated all the the metadata, and the modified reading positions since yesterday evening (when I had finished resolving the preceding corrupted DB), checked the DB and saved it, disconnected Elipsa and closed Calibre. But when Elipsa opened the DB was obviously corrupted: no book recognized while the PC saw them all I decided not to apply the painful process described here. I disconnected / reconnected from my Kobo account, and instead of suppressing the DB on Elipsa before copying the latest saved DB, I renamed it ...old, and imported the latest DB before suppressing the old. And I had nothing to do of all the the above process. All the books were there, on the reader and on Calibre. Affiliate, dictionaries and custom dictionaries, screensavers, mywords, parameters were ok. I hope I won't have to redo it again and again, but as such it is a quick fix. I also decided to review those PDFs I had reserved for Elipsa because they were impossible to read even on the Forma, beginning with those I called elsewhere bad PDFs. The brother with whom I'm holidaying built for me a sort of script for my Adobe Acrobat pro, and I'm starting to run them trough it. It has the added advantage or reducing their weight: the heaviest, with which I began, dropped from 437 to 275 Mo. |

I had nearly 160 books on my Elipsa, sorted into collections. After today's update to 4.28.17925...I have 26 books only.
It's absurd and laughable (in a hollow way). |

Check if they are there when you connect the device to your computer, and as soon as you have database backup you can restore all of them.

I feel like writing seems to be a bit more responsive?

Yeah? I'm looking forward to that. I know it was laggy for some people, though with all the problems I ran into, a laggy pen wasn't one of them. However, after years of using a stylus and Wacom tablet for creative work, maybe I just don't notice the lag anymore. You can learn to compensate for it. That doesn't mean, however, that I sniff snootily at improvements!

![]() Did the book count correct itself after you repaired the account? That was what I had to do every time I sideloaded books at one point. The sideloading caused my official downloaded books to disappear. |

Thanks very much for that suggestion, it worked. When I connected the Elipsa to my laptop it showed a Kobo folder and automatically reinstalled the missing books when I detached the Elipsa. Strange, so the books were on the device all the time? Just not visible? The annotations are there on the restored books, which is good. However, my notebooks have not been not reinstalled.

@pickyaxe: I don't really have a use for it. My main interest in it was not even of the "ooh, shiny new stuff" variety but of the "meh, new stuff I won't be able to deal with without having it in hand" one
![]() FWIW, I feel like, all in all, it's pretty decent at its main draw: annotating (K)ePubs. Then again, since it's not my use case, I don't have any experience with other devices in the same niche ![]() (I, err, do not agree with the "the screen is wonderful" comments. Coming from a Forma, my very first reaction upon unboxing was: aaaagggh, 227 dpi, get it away from me! ![]() ![]() Last edited by NiLuJe; 07-16-2021 at 03:17 PM. |

Just got my Elipsa and I don't know if it's the Elipsa or Calibre or the Kobo driver, but it really does not want to transfer more than about 100 books at a time. Calibre hangs and I have to reboot the machine to get it going again.
