Here's a Kobo 3-month-old video of the Android app. It shows 2 page landscape and menu layout and options.

I have the same issue on my Sony Tablet. The Kobo Android app shown on their product's page is quite different from the app I downloaded. It's really bare-stripped, with pretty much no options at all, like justify, split pages, etc.
What's up with that? Was a deal signed off where a certain brand of tablets would get the kobo app pre-loaded with a better version? |

Here's a good representation of the difference in apps (tablet vs phone).
Some of us with tablets are definitely getting the phone version for some reason. Last edited by SCION; 10-21-2011 at 09:47 PM. |

Did anyone get any feedback from Kobo?
I could not find anything, neither here nor on getsatisfaction.com |

I know they both do(Along with the new Galaxy line) but I don't think the older Galaxy Tab did.

I was expecting an answer along the lines of, "We haven't rolled out tablet functionality to the Android Market. We are aware of the differences in the apps". Something. We're just left scratching our heads in bewilderment.

Perhaps an apk of the superior software should be loaded on http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/kobo Not sure if that would be alright or possible though.
