Just switched over from a Kindle Touch and most of my wish list has been mentioned already. But in case anybody at Kobo is reading...
- Smoother highlighting. This has been my one big disappointment. It's so fiddly and hard to get just the right spot highlighted. I had other, lesser devices that did this just fine. It needs to be fixed.
- Google Translate. If you are reading foreign language books with compound verb tesnes, that can be a godsend. Maybe add it as an option in the dictionaries menu? So it would default to the onboard one as now, but then if you go into where you can pick a translation dictionary, there will be a new Google Translate option?
- Ability to pinch and zoom on images. Again, I have had lesser devices that can do this so it should be possible.
- Some kind of archived items or past purchases menu choice. I still have not figured out how to get at my past purchases which I removed from my 'I'm reading' but they are still in my account. Even from my computer, I can't figure it out.
- Some way to flag books which are not in a collection. Maybe there could be an auto-created collection of books which aren't already in one, so that you can then move them?
So far I like the Kobo Glo a lot. These are all little nitpicks. The highlighting is the only big issue for me. But these other things are little details which would make it that much better.
