End of June
According to the Twitter account there will be an update by the end of the month that will address the font scaling issue.

Anyone sign up for the beta, if so, how do you upload it (if its via their software not 100% sure I could do it as I only have the "borders" version of it.

I signed up, but from what Michael T said it sounds like it will be a few days until the firmware is released to the beta program. So I'm not sure how the firmware will be uploaded to the Kobo Reader.

From the teleread article it is mentioned 'mult-button presses and resets' which leads me to believe its similar to other EB600 firmware upgrades like the Cool-reader, which can be seen http://www.coolreaders.com/fw.asp here

We use the Adobe SDK to render ePubs, and we found that the Adobe SDK didn't let us get our grubby hands on fixed font sizes to change them on the fly when a customer chose to change font sizes. This is why some ePubs work, and some don't (grrrr!). In the fix, couple of our most crafty developers found a nifty way around this problem and do the heavy lifting outside the Adobe SDK. *EVERY* ePub we've tested with (including examples - many, many examples - sent in by customers) is now resizable with the new to-be-released firmware update. I'd be surprised if your ePubs didn't resize. If they are DRM free, send the files at shasan at kobobobooks dot com and I'll give it a shot myself (because our testers might throw up if I send them another epub to test ) |
