Hi,
I'm new around here to go easy if I'm asking questions that have been gone over before!
I bought a Kobo Touch recently, typically great timing now the new ones now announced lol but no matter I'm pretty happy with it, however I do have a few questions.
- I signed out of my account while still getting used to the settings etc. only to find that I had to then connect it back to computer to sign in again with the Kobo desktop software before I could use it again. This was even though there were plenty of epubs stored on the device (that were not from the Kobo book store). Is this correct or have I missed something? seems a real design flaw if correct.
- I went a bit crazy with downloading all the free public domain classics (new toy syndrome!
) and noticed the device slowed down quite considerably. I now have cut it down to around 140 books and its reasonably fast again. I guess my question here is how many more books can I add before I see the slowdown again?
- Not having a power adaptor in the box is slightly annoying but not a huge deal. The Kobo says 5vDC 0.8A on the bottom of the device can I use the USB power adaptor from my phone even though it says 5v 1A on it?
- And lastly lighting! I bought my Kobo Touch from WHSmith in the UK, where they also sell an official Kobo branded light, which is a rebadged LightWedge Verso and despite having many plus points - Its very lightweight, its very small and it clips on both securely without overlapping the screen and with a soft rubber in the clip so it doesn't mark the Kobo, all the features you would expect from an accessory branded by Kobo, of course. But, and there's always a but isn't there! It does have one drawback and in many ways I actually feel a little silly for thinking this of a light but its actually too bright! I have to angle it away from the screen and not on it - or at it simply so the light doesn't catch my eyes.
Fortunately I rarely have use for a light but I guess the question here is then, is there a light available that offers the same benefits as the Verso but thats not as bright?
Thanks for any input, as a newbie here I appreciate any help.
