To be fair to Kobo: they did not drop Sort by Series. The switched Sort by Title back to where it was actually sorting strictly by the Title, not by Series. It's not exactly the same thing. Now I'm hopeful that in time they'll actually give us a Sort by Series

We cant search by series either. Which means if you sort by series, and you have many books the only way to get to your collection if it is not at the end or beginning is either to page through or guess which number it might be at.

I used Calibre to set the series for the books and to push the series data to my ereader. It does take a double connection -- the first connection sends the book to the ereader so I can disconnect and let the ereader process the new books, the second connect now has a database entry to add the series info to in the database. Easy peasy... Regards, David |

Where is my brain?
I meant to say not series but shelves, you can not search by shelf. Sorry. |

Then there's always my random choice -- type a 3 digit number into the library page select and pick a book from that page to read. Regards, David |

Don't get me wrong, I do own two AuraHD ereaders and find their hardware features to be the best available, for my needs. I understand that Kobo is entitled to pursue their own objectives with the firmware they are providing and I can't expect them to deviate from their agenda. In the same light I continue to look into any options available to me to have the hardware I have purchased perform in a fashion more in line with my needs. Until I can find such an option (either another device with equal or better hardware or alternative FW for this device) I will have to make use of it, working around its limitations, to the best I can.

An Aura type screen, with matte finish, slimmer and lighter, and a more comfortable bezel/corners for holding one handed is not outside of our wildest dreams Helen |

So far it seems, that more than third of voters would benefit from file browser. Is that a significant enough number for Kobo designers? |

Your reasoning though is severely flawed. You will find a miniscule percentage of Kobo users even know about this forum
