Those arrows at the top of the screen

49Kat · 11-18-2011, 10:43 PM

Kat's dumb question of the day:

I have at the top of the Vox screen a total of 5 arrows now pointing down to a line with each edge of the line pointing up. These seem to be download arrows. How do I make them go away? If I tap on that spot, today's date briefly shows up.

Just for fun, typing this from the vox. Seem to have to tap harder.

Just hit them and drag down a bit and a white screen will take up your screen with your reading stats and notifications. Hit the clear button and they'll disappear.

Aha, thank you! I wasn't dragging it down far enough.

Sheesh, thanks. This swiping interface takes some getting used to.

I'm used to swiping from my Sony. It took me a while to realize you turn pages on the Vox by tapping.

Jesslynne · 11-19-2011, 10:26 PM

Swiping to change pages on the Vox is possible as well. I tend to just tap because it takes less energy.

arows at top of screen indicate downloads. go to main screen touch the center icon on bottom of reader look for notifications at bottom of screen click on it and you will see what the downloads are for and alow you to clear them.

I have no idea why the android kobo app doesn't have real time page animations like the ipod version.

I don't want those. Or rather if Kobo introduces them then I want a setting to turn that off.

I thought animated page turns were a useless gimmick, but having used the Vox, without the eInk flash, I miss them. There is little feedback for a page turn, and if you accidentally tap twice.

Good point. The page turns happen so fast and with so little pressure, it would be easy to accidentally turn a page without realizing it.

Maybe we will see it in a later update

I love the real time page animation, maybe I'm having a little nostagia for having to let go of the feel of reading a paper book
