Someone else will have to say what else is new/different to 4.34.20097.

When you close a PDF, your eReader will remember your most recent zoom level and position for when you reopen it.

That's nice. But have they fixed the bug in all versions since 4.32.x on Sage where you have to cancel and redo Export on Advanced Notebooks?
Or bug in last version where newly added unopened titles replace the last three opened on the drop down?

I went back to 4.32.x on Sage again this week.

I'm surprised the Clara and Clara 2 use different firmware. I got the impression that they were essentially the same aside from waterproofing and Carta 1200.

Delighted to see devanagari support added finally. With around half a billion people using languages written in it, it's about time.

Don't forget the Bluetooth/audiobooks support on Clara2E

Clara2E: WiFi 802.11 ac/b/g/n (dual band) and USB-C
ClaraHD: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and Micro USB

The added languages is a huge deal for me, thank you, Kobo, can't wait to try this new firmware.

This is good and the reason I keep reverting to 4.32, so I will test shortly!

Won't a different panel need a different driver?

this thing would be necessary also for the CBR

This FW on the Sage means one Sync needed when open Advanced Notebook.
First export save had bug of running till cancel, then next export instant. But subsequent exports instant.

Still no accents on letters. Perhaps you only get them in French, Spanish etc.

Writing seems better.

Ah. I don't care about those, so I completely forgot about them.
