In general, there's new features. So upgrading can make minimal, but nice changes. I don't remember what features have been introduced since 4.25.
Except for pinch to change font size, which was just (re)introduced in the latest firmware, 4.33. I hated that when they had it a long time ago, so I haven't upgraded and have stayed at 4.32 for now. You are likely fine staying at 4.25 You are likely fine updating to 4.33. Just avoid... 4.31(I think?). That one seemed to be very buggy. |

Yes anything that worked on 4.25 should work on 4.33 barring a few patches that have been removed either because they’d be redundant or because they need to be moved/tweaked.
But software such as KOReader, and Plato should work. If you have something particular in mind you should say it so those who use or make it can provide a more complete answer |

KOReader will work just fine. If anything upgrading is just beneficial for under the hood changes. |

Before using KOReader, you should just try the Clara as it is for a while. |

Someone else will have to answer. I only read kepub and custom fonts work fine. I thought custom fonts also work on ePub. I'm almost certain they do. I wonder if there's an issue with the fonts you added?

Throw this ePub on your Clara. See if you can change fonts on it. I'm at work and don't have access to Sigil or Calibre, but I don't believe StandardEbooks have specified fonts. So you should be able to switch them. At least then you will know that it isn't your Clara (and I am sure it is not). Last edited by ZodWallop; 09-12-2022 at 02:43 PM. |
