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.

You did not miss the fine print, it just was never there. I think perhaps core design would fall under this thread as well because that's the meat of the user interface is it not?, IMHO.
And yes since Kobo did not start this thread you most certainly can challenge the design philosophy of Kobo.... with out challenge there can never be improvement.
