Let me add to the praise. THANK YOU!

I've had my pre-owned, low mileage, apparently cherry Kobo Touch just under a month now, and experienced firmware from 1.9.?(came with) to 2.0.0(1st upgrade with a couple weeks on this) then 2.1.4 with no functional complaints(haven't needed an SDHC yet) and now 2.1.5! You dotted your I's and crossed your t's and it seems hit the mark.

Now for the real praise. I have a 7" android tablet with a nice screen and several reading apps, a 10" android tablet, and two Nook Simple Touch readers(one rebuilt from scrapped units) and with the exception of a page or two when I was only carrying the 10" tablet on business I have done every bit of my ebook reading since it arrived on the Kobo Touch no matter which firmware it was running! It's a nice clean functionally designed compact unit that surpasses expectations on a daily basis. THANK YOU!

Now, how about allowing me to remap the grayscale values on the browser so it renders a bit darker? Maybe by dragging up and down on a hidden slider off to one side of the browser screen in real time? Or perhaps give us a black and white option in the browser. It's not something one needs often, but it would help logging into WiFi that requires it.
