"IF you could design the user interface for the next Kobo Firmware"

I must have missed the fine print where it said "But you can't suggest anything
that contradicts Kobo's design philosophy."

It says "If you could design the user interface", now if the "you" being referenced
were Theonna or myself a file browser that functions as well as those we are used
to from our other ereading devices, would be a major part of the changes we would
make. I would ask why some of you think such a suggestion would be out of bounds
for this thread?

There is also the potential source of confusion in the meaning of the term "Kobo
Firmware". Is this intended to mean only for official Kobo Firmware releases or are
we talking about preferences for the firmware for the Kobo devices? No matter who
should develop and release it? Are we supposed to restrict our comments to those
things that Kobo would accept and/or approve of?

I am not holding out much hope that Kobo will be the ones to provide the kind of
"User Interface" or firmware in general, that I feel would be able to take advantage
of the potential of this very good hardware.

Don't ask - then complain about the answers you get. Now a discussion about
what you think of the answers might be of some value, but suggesting that there is
a problem providing an answer that Kobo would never approve of, is going too far
IMHO.

Luck;
Ken
