I think this is a font issue. It had been fixed and then something in 2.5 firmware seems to have broken it again. I am as sure as I can be that this is a high priority issue for Kobo (along with suddenly weird dictionaries). Try Amasis and see if your bottom margins are better. With my Glo, the absolute worst was Kobo Nickel.

The page turners I like most are the slide switch on the left of the Jetbook or the edge buttons on the Bookbox & Pyrus Mini (Although I'll admit the edge buttons only work with a narrow screen). I can see why Ken clings to his Jetbook with a firm deathgrip, If they made a new one with a decent eInk screen and a better processor I'd get one in a shot the final firmware update made it a very nice device. |

This one thread is like a "best of Mobileread" (and worst too). I believe it has included pretty much every topic of contention from the last several years of Mobileread.

My husband is also not a Touch fan. He still reads on a Kobo WiFi. |

Just had to laugh....I seldom use the page turn buttons on my T1 because it usually advances more than one page at a time. I do like the menu and home buttons, though.

I'm excited about this new Aura reader but I'm waiting to buy one on a local bookstore. Here in the US Kobo is the wholesaler for ebooks you buy through small local bookstores. The little independent places support readers in ways the giants do not. While no doubt they make money by selling through bookstores I still think it is an important thing Kobo does.
If you live in the US you can find member bookstores here: http://www.indiebound.org/indie-store-finder There is a link to Indiebound in the UK here: http://www.indiebound.org.uk/ Last edited by 6charlong; 04-23-2013 at 01:01 PM. |

But I do have a Kobo Aura HD on order. I will have both for awhile at least and I suspect that the jetBook Lite would be the last to go. Luck; Ken |

... so, despite my chat with Kobo CS yesterday, and despite them telling me that my order was "in progress" and thus not yet shipped, it has - in fact - arrived.
I also got the "shipped" email. 30 minutes ago. Just about the same time the packaged showed up. |
