Mini Inner Light in mini kobo !!

[fabric]

some kind of change in the kobo is possible mini so you can have inner light ????

Not really. Screen lighting depends upon a special layer that distributes the light uniformly across the screen. (The same is true for front and back lights.) The best that you can do with the mini is to add an external light.

thanks man !! but it would be great if there was the possibility of inner light !!! so we do hacks nowadays, perhaps appears some !!!

Front light would be welcome addition for new Kobo Mini that might make it a big seller. Unfortunately Kobo Mini didn't sell enough to be profitable so this is unlikely to happen.

Doing so would require placing a wave guide above the screen and extending the wave guide for the touch sensors. It's not impossible, but it is non-trivial.

Another option would be to create a light that attaches to the bezel but remains close to the bezel, with lenses that spread the light across the screen. Doable, but it would result in non-uniform illumination.

The third option is that an electrically compatible screen (or at least modifiable to be so) with the wave guide becomes available.

So there are some ideas if you want to try.

Back light would not work. There's no way for the light to shine through the eInk screen. What you want is a front light.

I have my suspicions that it might be mostly because the Aura is barely bigger than the Mini, but has the advantage of a six inch display. Five inch readers have become more of a niche market now that everyone has a smartphone.
