Here's a feature I have been sorely missing:
I have owned an Aura HD for a month now, which I picked for it's bigger high res screen so I could could use it for comics and school book pdfs as well as epub reading. My complaint is that when I zoom in a pdf book or comic to get rid of white borders and maximize the actual content on screen, the viewing window starts in the left corner on every page. My request is an option to automatically center this kind of content horizontally when zoomed, so I don't have to center it manually for each page. I don't require vertical centering, since the content starts at the very top. |

So read through chapter 1 and mark it up. Go to TOC, select chapter 2 and mark it up. Repeat as often as needed. Regards, David |

After having to use search a LOT over the last 2 days to check something out on both my Sonys and Kobo Glos, they really need to make search more usable.
Don't limit the search to only 100 entries. **While you're flipping forward and back to the next occurrence of the search term, allow the pages to be flipped ahead and back as well (extremely useful when you need to check the appearance of the pages around the change). As it is now, you need to stop the search to flip the pages up or down. So to then go to the next occurrence, you need to restart the search again and start flipping through the instances of the word again. Let the search begin from the point you are in the book, not always starting from page 1. The Sonys are 4 years old and that firmware can manage it. **Edit: Apparently you can flip forward and back but only using a tap. If you use a swipe (which is how I always turn pages), then it won't work. So it's doable as is, but I still think swipes should work there as well. |

Ifttt.com is very usefull with "translating" different stuff to pocket. Last days I have notice that I can automate dropbox -> pocket and googledrive -> pocket, but pocket on kobo doesn't open links. It downoads only articles. My idea is to open links from pocket like built-in web browser does, or at least links with specified tag, i.e. "book". With that feature sideloading ebooks could be done from couch. With ifttt.com you would even be able to email books like kindle to email function does.

"Search in Book" in an epub is horribly buggy (Kobo Mini, firmware 3.4.1). Above all, the "Results" list ist not even sorted (the order of the results even changes, when returning to the list by tapping the "Results" link in the left bottom corner!). The search doesn't seem to be reliable either: Performing the same search several times can yield a different number of results.
No bugs but nice to have: -- Search shouldn't start on page 1 but on the current page. Or let the user choose where to start. This is not just a matter of convenience but essential in case there are more than 100 results (only the first 100 are shown) and the current page is behind them. Then I simply don't get the results I'm looking for (example: search for the next occurrence of a person's name in a novel). -- In search results list for each result its page number (or percentage in book) should be given. This would help to decide which one of a lot of results is the right one. Last edited by pakoe; 09-12-2014 at 02:27 AM. |

As a twitter user and book lover, I would like to be able to post some tweets related to books I read. ex: title + progress, annotation, finishing, rating (5 stars), ...
"<X> of 5 stars to <title> by <Author>" |

Yeah, back when Kobo featured Goodreads reviews, I kept hoping for some sort of integration there. Unfortunately, when Amazon bought GR, that option just kinda died.

Use the correct language in Pocket articles
The dictionary used in Pocket articles is always the default language. Obviously this is a problem while reading Pocket articles that are not in the same language of the Kobo interface. Kobo should extract the language information from the article and use the correct dictionary.
BTW, I already contacted Pocket about this problem and their answer has been: Quote:

well, if it's still possible to "request" new features for the Kobo Aura.. would be great to have a swiss keyboard layout. locales fr_CH, de_CH and it_CH. We don't use the same layout as France, so when setting the Kobo to french, the keyboard is all messed up

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I don't really feel like going through over 1000 posts :P
I'd like books added to collections/shelves would no longer show up in the Books list. Thank you. Last edited by Angemon; 09-23-2014 at 09:18 AM. |

It has been suggested before. Personally, my vote is against it. I like the fact I can put books in multiple collections but they are still shown in the full library list.
