And to all the people on this forum who do not seem to be bothered by ergonomic inconveniences, bugs and certain questionable 'design decisions': please just accept that not everybody manages to be as tolerant towards such issues as you are. Consider extending your tolerance to people who do not share your opinions about such things.
Having followed KOBO firmware design for quite some time now:
There is no excuse for implementing basic firmware features in an ergonomically dysfunctional way. Just look at the still not fixed/improved way dictionary (other than English-English) lookup and pdf display are handled or the (ongoing) problems with basic epub page rendering. These are straightforward features offered by almost any freeware android reading app in a fairly useable way ... but not by KOBO.
I for one consider the fact that there are no efforts to fix such things as a token of utter incompetence with regards to firmware design and development and/or a token of disrespect for their customers.
