KA1 books display

The KA1 display of books allows cover view and list view. In the list view, the cover is difficult or impossible to view. In the cover view, the title information is difficult or impossible to view.

Is there some way to make either of these formats readable without having to click and specify <details>? Perhaps with an enlargement?

Could you clarify what you mean.

Is this with real kepubs or with calibre created ones?

Is this with patches installed on the device, or manual additions to the conf file?

User added fonts, or Kobo supplied fonts?

Here's an image. Note the text on the right. Unpatched, using a Kobo supplied font, fully updated, only added the Full Screen modo to the config file but turning it off in Reading settings doesnt fix it either. Actually just realised that the Kobo Kepubs render perfectly so far (testing 4/4) but most Calibre created ones are off. Perhaps im asking in the wrong thread?
Thanks

It is NOT a bug. a bug is something not working correctly in a supported feature. Full screen reading mode is not supported, so it's not a bug.

Sorry, I would still consider that a bug. But, it is one that I would not expect to be fixed because it is in an unsupported feature.

Given the extraneous messages in this thread, I take it that there is not a books display setting that would allow the entries to completely readable in the cover and/or list view!?!

there is a patch for it, but it's more involved than Geoffs I believe. I've not tried patching using Oren's method. However the patch only increases the covers in list view a little, I'm not sure if it would increase them enough to make all the text on them clear even on the KA1.

And you can try changing an entry in the config file. Look for the option "LastLibraryViewType_books". Change the value to "viewBy3List()".

i agree it's not a bug, but it is a feature that Kobo should add and support.

Although it is not a bug, it is interesting that with every firmware release there are many posts concerning how users would like the screen to be filled (I would like my kepub header gone, but still like the page numbers at the bottom, for example), yet they don't change the features. Someone at Kobo must read this forum, right?

Perhaps there are technical reasons that this is harder than we would think.
