Hi all,

Just hoping to spare others similar grief. Twice now, in an attempt to lower the brightness as much as possible for night reading, I have inadvertently made the brightness too low on the overdrive ebook app. What happens then is that the page dims so fast on opening overdrive that it is impossible to see the settings button to fix it. I have read some blogs that say running your finger down the left side of the screen changes the brightness but I have not found this to be the case on my Kobo Arc.
In the end after much frustration I found that by using a bright flashlight in a completely dark room, I could see the text, press on the page number to get the icons at the top to come up. With some trial and error I found the settings button and turned the brightness up. Someone at kobo needs to do something about this. Very frustrating!
All in all though, I love my kobo.
