NovaPro broke Kobo reader
As of update to firmware 2019-12-30_20-29_2.2.2_1843383 the Kobo reader app seems to get bad information about display size or resolution. Entire page of book being read is confined to upper left 1/2 or 2/3 or so of the screen. Regardless of font size setting or landscape/portrait setting. Google-Play-Books ereader does not have this problem, nor the Libby (public library) ereader. I assume it is a bug in Kobo ereader somewhere, but since we have no realistic odds of getting Rakuten to fixing it, I wonder if BOOX can find a workaround? This also does NOT happen on other more up-to-date Android tablets and phones.
Anybody find a way to deal?

Hi Dbu,
Sorry for the late reply. Please try to tap the app optimize icon on the navigation ball and disable the optimation feature, then the app will work properly. Thanks for your comment and support!

This worked for me on a nova 2. It's a rather confusing fix though, as this optimisation was automatically added.
I spent some time trying the optimisation settings, and found changing things such as dpi didn't seem to do anything. The toggle to disable optimisation is unlabelled and also in an odd place at the bottom of the last tab. I found a tutorial from earlier firmware which had it as a full page with the toggle right at the top.
In fact, my first workaround was to export from kobo and use the native boox app, which I came here to report an issue with the rendering of a book that was exported from my kobo library when I found this.

I got my new Nova2 last week. I live in the Netherlands and I have a subscription for reading Kobo P!us, I need to have a Kobo e- reader or an working Kobo app.
I was so frustrated that the app didn' t work properly on my Nova2. I spent many hours to find a solution. I didn' t succeed. And now I found this simple trick here: it worked immediately! Thanks! I am so happy to have found this. 👍 🙂
