Kobo Navigation INSANITY
Hi,
Some example of the problems I face:
Recent addition:
- When I add a bunch of new files, I see the number of books added in a tile (Good)
- I expect to be able to see them, in order to attach them to corresponding collections
- Well, no, you can't! If you add 22 books, you have to find them one by one in your library to attach them to a collection
File Types:
If you use your reader to carry a part of your work and personal life, you end up with a lot of files: pdf, conversions in txt, epubs and maybe kepubs of course, a few mangas...
- You sort by File type (Good)
- But how to jump to the start of the "kepub" files ? Is that page 30, 40, 200, 600 ? Too low and you are in the "epubs"; too far and you are in the "pdf"!
In collections: authors and titles
- you can browse by collection (Good) Let's go inside "Crime Stories".
- how to skip the 30 pages of Agatha Christie, or the 20 pages of Conan Doyle?
-Well, you are stuck, no list, no next button. Either you browse everything; or you know exactly what you want and you do a search.
Search and keyboard:
-you can search for authors and titles (Good)
- But don't expect to type a foreign name with the keyboard Че́хов (tchekhov) or 芥川龍之介 (Akutagawa) might be harder to find
- The foreign lot would be somewhere at the end, just browse everything, because you can't search for it... except by changing the language of the interface.
Cross collections
- well, don't expect a query language to be accessible for advanced users. It's not like all the data was stored inside a relational database.
Languages:
- No way to sort by language
Saving a search:
- Well, not quite sure you can stick a tile with your search, to save it for another time.
Browse SDCARD:
- Well, no, you can't open a book, a pdf file, or even a txt file or a jpg from the sdcard directly, sorry.
Feel free to add features missing for you.
