Then why kepub behavior is not the same ? No published on kobo store ? :s

I don't mind to call it a bug or feature.

Whatever it is, it should be optional at least. When I open a book, I like to read who translated the book, when it was published the first time, to read the dedicace, the author's introduction, the author's notes, and so on...

Its irritating to have each time to popup the bottom menu, then page icon, then arrow, then close the thing, just to start it from the beginning of the book...


Also, talking about something else, the French dictionary still unavailable to use (not the only one, Deutch, Japanese, ...), which is completely a dumb, egoistic and mediocre choice from the dictionary's publishers, since sometimes I cannot even know properly what a word is...

For instance, in a book I read the unknown word: "blabla", then click the word for definition, the dictionary opens, and gives me: "blabla: related to blablating"
Thanks, but I still don't know what blabla or blablating means !!!

And of course, theres no links inside the dictionary popup, which could jump from a definition to another by clicking the words.

Nice way to reduce an useful feature. Its like they doing it on purpose to disappoint people the most they can.

Also, I almost forgot the inability to change the font if the ebook specified one. Why giving the options if its to restrict it ? I remember in old firmware pictures there was a check box in the fonts option, something called "Kobo Style" or something like that. Was it an option to force fonts choices? Or what was the purpose of it ?
