Not here, I don't want to have all those options,like GERGE: KISS but Kobo seems to find it funny not to have a good reader, but to add all kind of functions with every new firmware, and this extra options are unwanted by a lot of users but the only topic Kobo seems to read are the future requests.
Most of the time they add basic functions that are already there in a new way.. There is a reset button.. oh not handy enough we implement a sickel, there was a light switch, no we remove that,then there was a way to adjust the light by an exta menu.. no.. lets not do that,we make a lefthanded screen dimmer.. There was an option to enlarge the font, no.. we make an extra option for that.
And with every extra thing they create problems who have to be solved in a new release,in stead of removing old bugs.

So no, I don't like all those extra things,i like my ready basic for reading,but I certainly doesn't want to bother all people with my way of reading,so add them all you like Kobo,make it a disco device if people want, but give us the control to switch all those things off.
