Can I turn on backlit without press button
Can I turn on glo light by say touch screen or change setting instead of press button. Thing is I got glo but case is kobo touch one. So I have to take out the glo and press light button and put glo back to case,really inconvenient

Thanks

You'd be better off puchasing a magnetic cover that fits the Glo to take advantage of the auto-sleep and wake by just opening/closing the cover. You have full access to the light switch then (although I always leave my light on, it just makes the page background appear whiter when I don't need it and it's not a battery drain).

This is the cover I have, only $5.99, and I love it. Here it is in different colors in case blue isn't your thing.

The only problem some have with this cover is when you flip the cover back, sometimes the magnet is strong enough to turn the reader off again. That's easily solved by putting a little bit a thickness inside the cover under the reader of aluminum foil or even paper towels. I had to do that and it works perfectly.

One Xacto knife + several seconds spent measuring + one dose of intestinal fortitude = case with light button hole...

Seems a fairly verifiable equation. Do not add the "lack of attention" term or the result may be increased by the "stabbed finger" static value...
