I was unaware that a certain level of writing skills and coherence was acquired before posting, nor did I see it mentioned in the forum rules. If I missed them, please accept my apology.
Shall I forward my next posts to you first so you can check them on coherence?

BTW. Would you be so kind to go through the same trouble as I did to actually make a case and show me which points you find are bordering on incoherent? You know, basing your opinion on a few provable facts?

Why are you lying about my post and then commenting on it? Can't you find a point you can actually disprove? Shame on you!

I suggest you read it again because literally NONE of my comments are focused on Extras.
Extras are mentioned when I focus on the "Brightness setting" and the "Mainscreen".
At no point in my post do I go into any details about the Extras themselves. So "focused on Extras" is a plain lie.

Was being the first to jump in and bash the OP so important for you, you skipped a few lines?

As for the UI??? Are you kidding? My entire post was about the UI!! Nice you finally got to this point too.

As for the UI, it's an embarrassing piece of software, but I'm under the impression you wouldn't know the difference.

Stuff like that is really in the domain of opinion: noone's really right and noone's really wrong. I, for one, like the new tiles interface. I can also understand why some people don't like the tiles interface. A large part of the difference is because of how individuals use the device.
That is exactly why I advocate OPTIONS and CHOICES, right there almost at the end of my post, but I guess you were in such a hurry you missed that too.

So, let's talk about the facts. You haven't presented anything but opinion about my incoherence and about something I didn't write.

At least I made a case based on evidence anyone can check for themselves and however incoherent in your view, I did put in a lot of effort to be precise and detailed.
I haven't seen you present anything to dismiss my findings, nor have you tried.

So my post stands as it is.
Kobo Glo's UI is a mess. That's my opinion based on verifiable quirks and bugs.
And my list is a lot longer than in my first post, I can assure you.

Next time I need to write a condescending but coherent oneliner, I'll ask you for help. You're good at it.
