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? |

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? |

In patching firmware 4.0.7523, you have this patch 'Fix three KePub fullScreenReading bugs'.

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.

So I have to patch my Kobo to fix this bug/not bug? ��
It appears in calibre converted Kepubs whether fullscreen mode is activated or not... Thanks |

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()".

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. |
