I think it is not so "handy" to move up or down the reader, with only one hand.
I like the reading with the reader in one hand when I am on my side in bed.
So holding the reader with one hand and do a page turn with that one hand.
I now do that with my thumb and swipe.
It is almost impossible when holding the reader in the middle ( I have Glo and Aura HD) to move your finger to the top or bottom to change the pages.
And where u hold it,in the middle, and you make a swipe movement,you access the settings.
It is not natural to use it,when holding with one hand,in this way so I think it adds nothing.
The front page,the menu,of the reader still is ugly with the tiles, there is still no option to just enter a page number to go to a page,you need to use the slider.
They added only options lately to do things,that are already possible in menu's like the "light movement" with your finger... optic tricks.. but a lot of the known bugs are still are and need patching...
I got a bit the idea that they are "polishing" the reader, but leave the main page the same with all those ugly "book tiles" in all different sizes... with that the Sony was a lot better, A row with new added books, the one you are current reading, all the same sizes and you can change the way it is displayed.
Leave the light on for some while when you go into sleep.. I think you will look several times to see if the light is ready off,like the fridge...
I hope all this new settings can be put off,either in the settings,or with a patch because the things that are really fixed, are very little.
First fix the bugs,then start polishing.
I can't really imagine with a Aura HD size reader, holding it with one hand,that you can comfortably switch pages on the new way,without accidently access the options because you tap in the middle.
I do quote u,but I don't point this comment to you,it is in general.. is this the release we are waiting for ??
Are the new options so hard needed that known bugs are left alone ?
I wait for the patches.. but I do hope that the light modus can be put off..I wasn't waiting for all these new things and for sure they won't help me reading my Glo and Aura HD with one hand with this new option.
How can u get this kind of things so high on Kobo's list that they implement them,but forget so much more important things ?
