Kobo touch, going back to library?
Hi!

I just bought a new kobo touch, and looking at the youtube videos, mine seems a little different...

Once I've opened a book, I can only seem to see the "% read" in the bottom left corner, whereas other kobos I've seen online seem to be able to return to the library? Is this a setting error / firmware update issue?? It's rather annoying having to press the button to get back home each time.

Also, my kobo doesn't seem to save the settings for each book that I'm on. Is that normal?

Many thanks!!

Not normal.

What firmware version are you on? Have you tried a factory reset?

That depends on the firmware version. The back or previous button was displayed in older firmware and is coming back in the next firmware.

The only settings that are saved per book are the font, line spacing and margins. What should happen is that you open a book, make the changes, exit the book and open another. This book will use the setting you just used. Change the settings, close that book and return to the first book. This should open with the settings you were using before.

The settings saving is also firmware specific. If you let the device update when you set it up, it should have version 2.5.2, which should work. The factory default firmware on a Touch probably won't be a version that saves the settings for each book.

Thanks so much for your help! I'll update the firmware, and hope that it all works better!
