I want to reverse that, the way I read have nothing to do with the way Kobo makes new features.
If I must avoid every machine,device,thing,routine because they change the way they work from the start, I can go back to Mount Everest and stay there.
It is so easy like say: my stomach hurts so bad when I have to laugh: then don't laugh.
Like a car that has been updated, sorry the steering weel is on the left side but we implemented some new stuff there, so handy but you have to step out on the right side now.

There was a way to do it, okay you have to go to the top menu, select the brightness symbol,then set the light but honestly.. do you have to do that so often that a shortcut was needed by touching the left side ?
All the things that causes problems are there because some people don't like it to use it the way it was,and maybe, excususe me,lazyness, to go to 2 option settings.
Same as resetting.. "oh.. I don't have a pin" well then we build in a mechanism for that people that resets a device and need 2 updates and some patches to disable it again (sickel).
The screen is there to read, not to put 20 options in,or at least put in a function to disable it.
Now Kobo says me how to read and how to hold the device because all the extra options and bugs must be put there

Which feature should take screen dominance, do you think, in an e.reader: turning pages, or changing the light level?
Amen to that !
