I think we should not have unrealistic expectations from an e-reader, it is not a tablet!

I have Kobo Clara HD and true, the swiping left edge of screen very often instead of changing brightness is selecting the text, meaning very often you don't get it right and have to do it the regular way (through middle tap). Realistically I don't care, I don't change the brightness so often and for me its not a deal braker.

Opening MASSIVE e-book 13 000 pages (more than 120 MB) needs 14-15 sec (just measured) but hey 13 000 pages???? Normal books are opened either instantly or with delay of several seconds, completely acceptable.

Who wants faster performance should get one of the bigger Android e-readers who are actually hybrid tablet-e-readers.

I'm very happy with my Clara
